The opposition leader Dragan Čavić, former President of Republika Srpska, tells Nya Tider about the work of the opposition and the recent demonstrations. He also explains his view on the Dayton Agreement, which he has been involved in negotiating, and which was a peace treaty between Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia and Croatia, and resulted in the forming of a NATO peace force and a new constitution for Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1998 Čavić was deemed obstructing the Agreement and was therefore stripped of his parliamentary seat by the EU and forbidden to work politically for five years. Already in the elections of 2002 he however became Vice President and in 2006 he was elected President of the Republika Srpska.

SERBIAThe Serbian parlamentary elections on April 24th were won as expected by the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS). The elections were held early, which is wildly interpreted as an attempt by Serbian Prime Minister Alexandar Vucić to capitalize on the support he still enjoys with currently stable popularity ratings as insurance against a possible loss in regular elections set for 2018.

UKRAINEClose to 2,000 people gathered in the city of Odessa in southern Ukraine to lay down flowers in memory of the massacre in the Trade Unions House two years ago, when 48 opponents of the new regime in Kiev were burnt to death after riots in the city.

SERBIAFrom the NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999 until today the West is holding Serbia under its thumb. However, Russia also has its say in the affair. Nya Tider has the story on the grey-area nature of this conflict, possibly a case of “imperialism in our time”.

Entire families are butchered by attackers who aren't out to rob, but to kill and terrorize. Despite this gruesome reality, the governing ANC party refuses to admit there is a problem with anti-White racism in South Africa.

SOUTH AFRICAReporters from the Swedish weekly newspaper Nya Tider (New Times) have traveled to South Africa to investigate whether the "Rainbow Nation" is the success story that Swedish establishment media sometimes say – as far as they are at all interested in the land that has been in the media focal point until 1994. We met with politicians, farmers and victims. Thousands of farmers have been murdered in the Rainbow Nation, and the fear is always present.

After heavy fighting and thousands of casualties, Yazidi warriors together with the Kurdish military Peshmerga managed to retake the mountain town of Sinjar from the Islamic State, close to the Syrian border in northern Iraq. Mass graves and ruins bear witness to the ravages of the Islamic State, and the war has forced more than 30,000 Yazidi families to live in refugee camps in the mountains. New Times got a unique opportunity to visit the camps that Europe has deprioritized and follow the soldiers defending their hometown against the Islamic State, which is only a hundred metres away. Together with the help organization Hatune Foundation we visited the camps.

Ostentatious headlines in Aftonbladet, Expressen and other media declared that ”six Swedes”, later ”eight Swedes” had been arrested for a rough gang rape on a Finland ferry. Nya Tider is now the first newspaper to reveal that not even the white lie that the arrested Somalis are ”Swedish citizens” is right – all the detainees are Somali citizens, and of all the suspects only one has a Swedish citizenship.
