The Negotiators
After several weeks the UNHCR
sent someone to negotiate
with the Gypsies
to find a solution.
Caroline and Blase showed up.
They were the ones who had run
the camp in Shutka,
the ones who had turned off
the water and electricity
and had stopped all aid.
Neither were in a mood to negotiate.
Only dictate.
They told the Roma
to pack up and behave
or they would be deported back to Kosovo.
Musa, the Gabeli leader, who never
lost his cool or raised his voice
tried to explain his people’s plight.
Caroline called him a politician
called herself an humanitarian.
She told him there was only one solution
and to stop procrastinating
like Milosevic.
While many Gypsies waved empty water bottles
Musa tried to convince her to bring more aid
or to let other NGOs bring more aid to them.
Caroline was quite unmoved by the demonstration.
She told Musa if he wanted more water
to take his people back to Skopje.
She said they were
illegally
occupying
Macedonian government property
and the police
would forcibly
remove them.
Someone shouted out
they wanted to go to
America
to be free.
Caroline yelled back
that Gypsies
did not meet the criteria
for America
or any country
not even their own.
