In our Forum mailing we posted the following two Third Side News Stories.
First Joint Croatian-Serbian Film on Vukovar Completed - ’Vukovar - Final Cut’ The documentary film on the war in Vukovar, produced by B92, was completed last week. The focus was to bring together about 70 protagonists on both opposed sides to reconstruct the events in Vukovar in the period from the first free elections in Croatian in April 1990, to the massacre of Ovcara in November 1991 and the Belgrade trials for the crimes at Ovcara in 2005.
Sudan/Chad Conflict Solution Depends On Dialogue - Alpha Konare, chairman of the African Union (AU) Commission, said that Sudan and Chad should realize that the only choice to achieve peace is through dialogue. "They have to understand that there is no other way to follow but dialogue and they have to accept, for this reason, that other brothers help them to talk. Those who made any mistakes should admit it and correct them, because in Africa we must work in peace and trust", he stressed.
Please share any thoughts or comments.
On the Chad and Sudan situation. I certainly agree with Mr. Konare. However, if the Third Side has taught us anything it is that all of society must get involved to deal with such a destructive conflict. Is there a civil society that can help here? What roles can the international community play in all of this and why aren't they?
