MARKETS
All through
the siege the city markets were operating. There one could buy all sorts
of edible and less edible plants and homegrown teas. Also the humanitarian
aid was sold and traded there, like "Truman eggs" (the powdered eggs which
had been stored since WW II), cigarettes, etc. The markets were the aggressors'
favorite target and a great number of Sarajevo citizens got killed or
maimed there. There has not been a single market in Sarajevo which was
not the sight of a massacre. The markets were the only places where Sarajevans
could buy some food. Late in the summer of 1995 some protected street-corners
were promoted into markets.
