The story of the war in former Yugoslavia is slowly being forgotten. We have forgotten the buses filled with orphan babies, tied to their seats leaving Sarajevo, rushing through sniper fire and falling shells. We have forgotten the old people's homes where the elderly died quietly of cold. We have forgotten the hospitals filled with bodies: we have forgotten the Market Place massacre, and the shelling of starving civilians as they queued for bread and water. Images of football fields turned into cemeteries, of broken glass, of devastated buildings, of the barely living, the wounded and the dead have merged with other images of suffering elsewhere in the world, and these in turn are being forgotten too.
