???????? Sarajevo War Tunnel. Bosnia and Herzegovina.
#Sarajevo #Bosnia #Balcanes
Ruben Alonso makes an emotional trip to the Sarajevo Tunnel. Beginning in January 1993, the Sarajevo Tunnel was dug by Bosnian volunteers working in 8-hour shifts. The Sarajevo tunnel was completed in mid-1993, which allowed food and humanitarian aid to come into the city, and people to get out. The tunnel was one of the major ways of bypassing the international arms embargo and providing the city defenders with weaponry. In effect, it is said the tunnel saved Sarajevo.
Rubén Alonso hace un emotivo viaje al túnel de Sarajevo. A principios de 1993, el túnel de Sarajevo fue excavado por los voluntarios que trabajan en Bosnia en jornadas de 8 horas. Se completó a mediados de 1993, y permitió que alimentos y ayuda humanitaria entrara en la ciudad. Además fue utilizado para que la gente pudiera escapar. Fue utilizado como una de las principales formas de eludir el embargo internacional de armas lo que permitió a los defensores de la ciudad disponer de armas. Sin duda, el túnel salvó a la ciudad de Sarajevo.
Sarajevo War Tunnel (Tunnel of Hope), Bosnia & Herzegovina
Build in 1993 by the Bosnian Army, during the Siege of Sarajevo in the midst of the Bosnian War, the Tunnel of Hope is an 800m underground tunnel connecting the Serbian held city of Sarajevo with Bosnian held territory across the airport runway. It became an important passage for food, humanitarian aid and war supplies. For 4 years this tunnel provided the lifeline to the outnumbered Bosnian Army to offer resistance against the Serbian forces which eventually lead them to victory.
The tunnel has become an important landmark in Sarajevo today. A museum was built and is open to public. Only 25m of the tunnel is accessible to visitors. A 15 minutes footage of how the tunnel was build and the struggle the Bosniaks went thru during the war is also aired for the duration of the tunnel opening hours.
This video is about my tour of The Tunnel Of Hope, in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina. Enjoy watching.

???????? Holiday Inn Sarajevo: In the Eye of the Siege | War Hotels
Originally opened as a glitzy VIP accommodation for the 1984 Winter Olympics, the Holiday Inn was the ground zero of the siege of Sarajevo in the 1990's and became a fortress for the world's media covering the conflict.
On April 5, 1992, a peaceful march for Bosnian unity turned into violence which people think of as the official start of the siege of Sarajevo. The conflict lasted nearly four years and took the lives of thousands of Bosnian Muslims, Serbs and Croats.
Marchers were protesting against a worsening rift between the three main nationalist parties sharing power in Bosnia-Herzegovina - the Muslim SDA, the Serb SDS and a branch of the Croatian HDZ.
As the protesters reached the Vrbanja Bridge, snipers fired into the crowd killing two women: Sauda Deberovic and Olga Sosic. The next day, the number of protesters outside Parliament grew and Serb snipers began shooting into the crowds.
Some of the snipers had been targeting people from inside the Holiday Inn hotel, which Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic had made his temporary headquarters.
Snipers who were using the hotel were facing the Parliament building. They were shooting at innocent people who gathered in front of the Parliament to protest against the war. That was a prelude to the war, recalls Hajro Rovcanin, who worked at the Holiday Inn from the start and is now the hotel's executive director.
Journalists rushed to Sarajevo to cover the escalation of tensions, and although there was other more comfortable accommodation, the Holiday Inn soon became the centre of media coverage during the war. A significant amount video and still pictures of the war was filmed from the hotel.
I think maybe the Holiday Inn became the war hotel in Sarajevo because of a kind of an accident but also by design. Because of its unique location in the centre of the city, almost like a fortress that you can look out from all the sides, recalls photographer Paul Lowe who was among hundreds of correspondents, photographers and crews that set up base in the Holiday Inn to cover the siege.
It had infrastructure, it had a safe basement, safe garage, had plenty of rooms and somehow, we are not sure how, the hotel management to keep the supplies of food coming in ... So there was a sense that this being a concrete cocoon, which is completely false because people were shot dead on the entrance of the hotel, says Lowe.
The Holiday Inn was subjected to shelling and hit directly several times by heavy fire from Serb positions in the residential area of Grabvica and on Mount Trebevic. Eventually, parts of the hotel were uninhabitable due to destruction and shelling. And getting in and out of the hotel every day was extremely dangerous, remembers the BBC's Martin Bell.
I thought to myself I've get a better chance to survive if I don't enter the hotel through the main door which is on the line of fire from the Serbs opposite, but walking in through the broken frontage, says Bell. I was always [to] walk to my room in the clockwise direction however long it took rather the anti-clock direction - and it sort of helped to keep me alive.
The main street between the hotel and the parliament became known as Sniper Alley, which was one of the most dangerous intersections in Sarajevo 25 years ago, according to Kenneth Morrison, Professor of Modern European History. Snipers were particularly active in this area.
According to 1995 UN figures, 225 people were killed there and over a thousand injured.
I spent a lot of time outside anyway. I felt safer when I came to the hotel than on the streets of Sarajevo, but no, we didn't feel safe. There is no way we could have felt safe, says Samer Kurich, former Reuters translator and fixer.
Despite the danger, the hotel continued to house the media until the siege was lifted on February 29, 1996 - following the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement that ended the Bosnian conflict. More than 11,000 civilians had been killed.
The Holiday Inn still stands today, albeit under a new name, a symbol of the endurance and fortitude of the people of Sarajevo - and a shelter for those bringing their story to the world when the people of Sarajevo needed them the most.

Tunel - Tajna Opsade Sarajeva
During the Siege of Sarajevo by Serb forces during Bosnian War between 1992 and 1995, the Sarajevo Tunnel was constructed by the besieged citizens of Sarajevo in order to link the city of Sarajevo, which was entirely cut-off, with the Bosnian-held territory on the other end of the supposedly neutral area at the Sarajevo Airport controlled by the United Nations. The tunnel linked the Sarajevo neighbourhoods of Dobrinja and Butmir.
Beginning in January 1993, the Sarajevo Tunnel was dug by Bosnian volunteers working in 8-hour shifts. The Sarajevo tunnel was completed in mid-1993, which allowed food and humanitarian aid to come into the city, and people to get out. The tunnel was one of the major ways of bypassing the international arms embargo and providing the city defenders with weaponry.

Sarajevo: City Under Siege (1994)
A BBC documentary on how life continued in Sarajevo, despite the snipers and shelling from the hills above. During the 1992-1995 Siege of Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina was cutoff from the rest of the world. It was the longest blockade of a city in modern history and thousands of people died at the hands of the Serb war criminals.

[한국어 정보]
사라예보 곳곳엔 내전 흔적들이 많다. 그 아픔을 쫒아 ‘생명의 터널’로 향한다. 가는 내내 당시 이야기를 전해주는 사람. 비록 말을 알아들을 수는 없지만 그 목소리를 듣기만 해도, 그 아픔이 절절하고 생생하게 전해져 온다. ‘생명의 터널’는 도심 외곽, 공항 활주로 아래에 있는 지하 통로다. 당시 사라예보는 사방이 포위되어 있었고 그 누구도 들어오고 나가는 일이 용납되지 않았다. 사람 흔적 보다는 살벌한 공포가 이곳을 지켰을 터. 건물 곳곳 새겨진 선명한 총 자국이 당시 상황을 한눈에 알려 준다. 자료들을 들여다보면 당시 상황을 이해 할 수 있다. 사라예보는 완전히 포위되어 있었다. 50만 시민이 사용할 물, 전기, 개스 모두 끊긴 채로... 살기 위해서는 사라예보 밖으로 드나드는 길을 찾아내야 했고. 터널을 파는 것만이 유일한 생존방법이었다. 맨 손으로 터널을 파고 좁은 터널로 부지런히 흙을 퍼 날라야만 했다. 무너지면 또 파내고, 지나다가 머리가 깨져도 살기위해서 마다 할 수가 없었을 것이다. 살아내야 한다는 집념으로 만들어낸 터널. 그 터널은 사라예보 사람들의 생명줄이었다. 이제는 간간히 관광객들만 찾는 이곳. 1993년부터 1995년 동안 이 터널이 사라예보로 들어오고 나갈 수 있는 유일한 길이었다는 것을 실감할까? 절절함을 직접 느껴보기 위해서 터널 속으로 걸어 들어가 보기로 한다. 6개 월동안, 손으로만 파서 만들었다는 터널 길이는 760m. 통과하는 데 45분이 걸렸다고 한다. 대개는 허리를 굽히고 걸어야 했고, 쪼그린 채 물과 진흙탕을 지나야 했다. 감자와 계란, 먹을 것을 안은 채로 그렇게 오고 갔을 사람들을 생각하니 가슴이 먹먹하다. 어느 나라에서 왔어요? 폴란드에서 왔어요. 저는 에스토니아에서 왔어요. 내전이 끝난 1995년 12월 31일까지 이 터널을 통과한 사람은 112만 명. 이 터널을 통해서 사라예보로 들어간 음식물은 5백 5십만 kg 이었다고 한다. 또 8천만 kw의 전기가 공급되고 450만 리터의 연료가 공급되었다는 이곳. 터널은 지금, 공항 건너편을 바라보면서 무너져가고 있다.
