A sentiment that is ignored by Western politicians because they know that the Western public is too lazy, stupid, or callous to hold them accountable.
Politicians decry the murder of one civilian (when it suits their narrative) while they murder 1,000. They decry the racist hatred of Nazis while funding and enabling Nazis. And they condemn condemnation of genocide.
Yes, you read that right.
Macedonian Human Rights Movement International's ongoing campaign and demand for the return of Macedonia's name include billboards exposing VMRO-DPMNE's refusal to follow Macedonian and international law, but companies are afraid of repercussions from the government if they run the campaign.
Dear fellow Macedonians in the Republic of Albania,
The Macedonian Association Ilinden - Tirana addresses you with this open and sincere call, at a moment of particular importance for the affirmation of our identity, dignity and rights as an indigenous Macedonian community in Albania.
In EFA, we are concerned about the situation of minority rights in Bulgaria. The country continues to refuse to recognize the Macedonian community and register any Macedonian organisation, violating Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights. International bodies such as the European Court of Human Rights and the very Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe have repeatedly recommended to take the necessary measures. Bulgaria has also avoided implementing the decisions issued by these institutions.
Article by the Federal Union of European Nationalities (FUEN):
The latest contribution to FUEN's Minority Monitor focuses on the situation of the Macedonian minority in Albania and FUEN’s long-standing efforts to ensure the protection of their rights. The article draws on six FUEN Resolutions submitted between 2016 and 2024 by the FUEN member organisation Macedonian Association “Ilinden” Tirana, highlighting persistent gaps between legal guarantees and the actual implementation of minority rights.
The attacks on Nikola Gjurgaj, President of the Macedonian Association Ilinden Tirana are part of a broader strategy to silence Macedonians in the Republic of Albania.
The Macedonian Association Ilinden Tirana sends its strongest reaction to the so-called portal burevestnik.bg because its writings are part of the media strategy to pressure Macedonians in the Republic of Albania.
This is an attempt to silence the truth and cover up the real assimilationist policy of Sofia towards Macedonians in the Republic of Albania by the Bulgarian emissaries. Nikola Gjurgaj, President of the Macedonian Association Ilinden Tirana, is being attacked with false information.
Macedonian Human Rights Movement International demands the immediate nullification of the "Prespa Agreement", the US/Western-imposed treaty which illegally and forcibly changed Macedonia's name into the highly derogatory "North Macedonia" in 2019, and in contravention of Macedonian and international law, multiple international human rights conventions, the Macedonian Constitution, and rules of Parliament. Full details are below. Nullifying this illegal treaty will return Macedonia's name and guarantee its right to self-determination.
Fighting to restore our Macedonian name, identity, and history and funding human rights projects throughout all of partitioned Macedonia are not charitable by law. But, is this a prerequisite before you help?
Bulgaria's official state policy continues to be the outright denial of the existence of the Macedonian minority, as well as of Macedonian identity, language, culture and history as a whole. It is this denial, along with the West's full endorsement of Bulgaria's anti-Macedonian policies, that has led to a dramatic rise in hatred and human rights violations against Macedonians in Bulgaria.
Why? Because I’m a human rights activist and I get in the way of U.S. foreign policy.
Your tax dollars well spent.
And you thought that USAID’s purpose was foreign aid and humanitarian assistance.
Then again, Americans are used to pumping money into the U.S. foreign interventionist and war machine and not minding that they suffer—and cause tremendous suffering—for it.
