Abstract

No Refuge for Bosnian Muslims

The article presents information on social condition of Bosnian Muslims refugees in Pakistan. The author of this article reports from Pakistan. Emina, an exhausted mother of five, like her 380 companions, she arrived in Pakistan in June, after Croatia kicked her out and no other country would shelter them on such short notice. European countries, already saddled with thousands of refugees and facing rampant xenophobia, had closed their borders, erected barriers to asylum applications and imposed strict visa restrictions against those fleeing the conflict in former Yugoslavia. With anti-Muslim sentiment rising in Europe and the United States, it should be no surprise that no Western country would bend its self-serving practices for Muslims from Bosnia.
