EDITORIAL: RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GREAT POWERS
THE LA LIBRE BELGIQUE (Brussels) October 18, 1971
Is war going to be added to the drama of millions of Bengali refugees? Every day, on the roads leading to Calcutta this capital of Indian poverty, Bengali men, women and child¬ren, all coming out in miserable conditions from East Pakistan, chased by an army which wishes to make the place empty, die from hunger and disease. Tomorrow, will we see more victims made through war? Is there going to be an end to this absurd situation ?
