Bosnia. Just wow. But the ethno-nationalist rhetoric of these elites betrays the realities of BiHs true political economy: accumulation through dispossession. The graffiti on the walls of the burnt out husk of the Tuzla canton government now offers a stark rebuke to these policies: You must all resign! Death to nationalism! The protestors realise that the countrys dire economic situation is not merely the result of corrupt officials, but rather of the constitutional order itself. The changes they demand likewise address the system directly For the people of BiH, however, this is merely the beginning. Tumultuous days are no doubt ahead, but as long as the citizens of this little land do not forget the fear they inspired in their rulers tonight and continue to press their demands, together, they may yet usher in a truly democratic Spring. aljazeera/indepth/opinion/2014/02/it-spring-at-last-bosnia-herzegov-2014296537898443.html
