The fire in the Lipa migrant camp
The Bosnian "refugee" camp near Lipa burned down on December 23, 2020. The timing is suspicious since one inevitably thinks of Moria and the consequences. What better way to soften European hearts shortly before Christmas Eve in order to achieve a similar effect? However, the Lipa case has some deviations from Moria, but none of them can really be explained.

The camp in Bosnia was operated by the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The German daily Tagesschau wrote about the IOM camp on December 14: “The International Organization for Migration (IOM) operates refugee shelters all over Bosnia and Herzegovina. The IOM was not happy with the Lipa location in the spring. Because there is no infrastructure around the warehouse. It is neither connected to water nor to the electricity network and can only be reached via a dirt road.”
Because the IOM found the camp to be a problem, the organization threatened to stop running it. It even gave the central government of Bosnia-Herzegovina an ultimatum, the Tagesschau reported.
“If no solution can be found for the camp, the IOM will abandon it, IOM regional coordinator Peter Van der Auweraert announced in the Bosnian media. And that is by no means a bluff, emphasized the employee Natasa Zunic Omerovic at the gate to Camp Lipa: ‘On December 16, all of us will no longer show up for work. The people will then be homeless and not get the help that their human rights require’.”
In fact, the IOM then suspended aid and the migrants left the camp.
The larger city of Bihac was supposed to provide an empty factory hall as accommodation and EU funds had been promised for this. But the mayor refused, as German broadcaster ZDF reported on December 29: “First we have to look after our own citizens, now after refugees so that they can get through the winter. That must not become our problem.”
A second alternative location, a barracks near Sarajevo, was blocked by the residents according to ZDF. The “refugees” had to spend the night in buses and some of them are now back at their starting point − the burned down camp near Lipa. This created the desired urgent humanitarian intervention scenario for all those who want to import “refugees” into the EU.
“No food, no money, big problem,” reported the ZDF’s Heute-Journal exclusively on site. “I came for a better future”, an Afghan complained in front of a German camera, “but Lipa is not that”.
It appears that the IOM itself had triggered the disaster in Lipa by being “understanding” about the migrants destroying their accommodation in a fire. The matter becomes even more dubious when one realizes that the IOM works closely with the German federal government, as stated on its website.
“The Federal Republic of Germany has been a member state of the IOM since 1954. In Berlin, Nuremberg, Frankfurt/Main and Brandenburg, IOM employees implement migration projects in cooperation with state and non-state partners from politics, civil society and research.” The head of the IOM has good relations with the leftwing political party, the SPD in particular. Monica Goracci spoke in 2017 at a congress of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung on the subject of “#arrived: Europe and the world – perspectives of refugee policy”.
It can therefore hardly be assumed that the IOM canceled its humanitarian aid in Bosnia without prior consultation with the Federal Chancellery or the Foreign Ministry. The organization willfully contributed to the fact that the migrants are once again stranded a the burned down tent camp.

“The timing is suspicious since one inevitably thinks of Moria and the consequences.”
Indeed, just as on the Greek islands, the NGOs in Bosnia are trying to stir up discontent and provoke criminal action among the illegal migrant population. Much of this is due to the frustration of the SJWs who staff the NGOs, who don’t, and won’t, realize that host country governments, as well as the local people, don’t want the illegals around and aren’t prepared to tolerate their presence much longer. And in this particular case, in the Bihac region, they are Bosnian Muslims, who have little or no sympathy for their co-religionists from the Middle East and South Asia. But this runs counter to the narrative that the NGOs and the globalist interests that fund them wish to promote among the public and in the media.
The illegals are increasingly a burdensome prop for the leftist-globalist backers of the NGOs. They can’t go into the EU, and don’t want to stay where they are. And the local Bosnian population doesn’t want them. But the illegals have unfortunately been indoctrinated before they left their countries of origin by globalist NGOs, their imams, and the media into believing that they have a perfect right to illegally enter Europe and live off the taxpayers there. The NGOs operating in Bosnia, as elsewhere, are very adept at manipulating their unfulfilled expectations, so they will remain in Bosnia and keep making trouble there.
The political will remains lacking that could put an end to the illegals’ misguided, dysfunctional odyessy. Frustrated in their false hopes, they should be made to return to their countries of origin to be a disincentive and example to avoid for others who would otherwise be misled by leftist-globalists and others who mindlessly encourage mass migration. The longer they stay in Bosnia, or anywhere in the Balkans, they will be an ever worstening security problem.
