Episode 58: Solidarity in Bosnia (Part 1)

In April, I went to Bihac, a small town in Bosnia near the border with Croatia, to see how the solidarity network No Name Kitchen (NNK) supports People on the Move there.    In this episode, NNK's volunteers in Bihac will tell us how they provide first aid, food and clothing to the People on the Move there, and how they document border violence.    We'll also talk with a few of the people trapped in Bosnia, who'll tell us about their journeys to the Balkan country, and the abuses they have faced from border guards at the edge of Fortress Europe. ---Get in touch---   Twitter: @FleetCivil   Mastodon: @[email protected]   Bluesky: @thecivilfleet.bsky.social   Instagram: thecivilfleet   [email protected]   civilfleet.com   Support:   ko-fi.com/civilfleet   ---Show Notes---   For more on No Name Kitchen, see their website here: nonamekitchen.org   Follow NNK on Twitter via @NoNameKitchen1   Follow them on Instagram: @no_name_kitchen    And listen to episodes 58 Part 2, 51, 41, and 6 of The Civil Fleet Podcast.   Want to know where Bihac is exactly?
