Serbs follow order,
retreat from Gorazde
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Hcrzegovina
— U.N. troops evacuated wounded
civilians and fanned out across be
sieged Gorazdc to enforce a truce Sun
day. The United Nations said Bosnian
Serbs had met NATO’s demand to
pull back from the city.
NATO issued an ultimatum Friday
ordering Serbs to stop their assault on
Gorazdc immediately or face air at
tacks. The Serbs were given unti 1 early
Sunday to withdraw their forces from
the town, the center of a Muslim en
clave in eastern Bosnia.
The top U.N. official for former
Yugoslavia, Yasushi Akashi.said in a
statement after the NATO deadline
passed that the situation had not re
quired air strikes. On Saturday, the
United Nations refused a NATO re
quest for authorization to bomb in
response to heavy Serb shelling.
Despite the reported Serb with
drawal, two women were killed and
15 were wounded by Serb sniper fire
Sunday, Bosnian government radio
reported. There was also sporadic
mortar fire and a Serb infantry attack.
But U.N. officials said the situa
tion quieted as the day wore on. U.N.
spokesman Maj. Eric Chaperon said
Serbs were respecting the terms of a
cease-fire they had agreed to and were
withdrawing 1.9 miles (three kilome
ters) from Gorazde’s center.
While U.N. officials said the truce
wasgcncrally holding, Bosnian Prime
Minister Haris Silajdzic complained
earlier in the day that “Gorazde is still
a scene of fighting.”
U.N. officials often play down truce
violations to avoid having to call air
strikes that could escalate fighting
and wreck fragile negotiations.
About 200 peacekeepers arrived late
Saturday in Gorazde. Another 300
peacekeepers due to arrive Sunday
were held up at Sarajevo airport. The
presence of the peacekeepers also di
minishes the likelihood of air strikes,
which could pul them in danger.

Bomb kills nine in South Africa
JOHANNESBURG, South Af
rica — A car bomb exploded in
downtown Johannesburg Sunday,
killing at least nine people, damag
ing the headquarters of the African
National Congress, and terrorizing
South Africans just two days before
the first all-race election.
No one claimed responsibility
for the blast, which also wounded
about 100 people. Suspicions fell
on white extremists — the last,
stubborn holdouts to the election
that will usher in black-majority
rule.
Political leaders from several
parties appealed for calm.
“I don’t want you to concentrate
on the violent action ofthosc people
who want to disrupt the process,”
ANC President Nelson Mandela
said at a huge rally in Durban that
culminated his campaign for the
nation’s highest office.
“We’re going to deal with those
people. We have made fantastic
progress, despite criminals and
murderers.”
The ANC was expected to win
the election, the first in South Afri
can history to include the black
majority. Right-wing extremists
opposed to black majority rule have
threatened drastic action before
voting begins.
The present white-led govern
ment, expected to share power with
the ANC in the next administra
tion, said it was resolved to go
ahead with the voting, which be
gins Tuesday and ends Thursday.
“Those who believe that they
will prevent or disrupt the election
by such terrorism have completely
missed the bus,” Law and Order
Minister Hernus Kriel said in a
statement.
One of those killed was an ANC
provincial legislalurccandidatc, Su
san Keane, who was driving into
the ANC regional office fora meet
ing when the bomb went off. Other
victims were peucsirians near the
blast site.
A spokesman for the militant
right-wing Afrikaner Resistance
Movement denied the group was
involved.
The blast, the biggest ever to hit
Johannesburg, renewed fearsofrag
ing violence during the election—
fears that had been quelled by the
last-minute decision of the Zulu
nationalist lnkatha Freedom Party
to take part in the vote.
Inkalha’sdccision left only right
wingcxlrcmisls boycotting the bal
lot. •
lnkatha leader Mangosulhu
Bulhelc/.i, who agreed last week to
'end the party’s boycott of the bal
loting, joined in condemning the
violence Sunday. He appealed to
his supporters: “The IFP gains ab
solutely nothing from violence....
Let the election run its course and
let it be free and fair.”
World leaders meet to discuss economies
WASHINGTON — The United
States pressed Japan and Germany to
do more to stimulate their domestic
economics as finance officials from
the world’s seven richest industrial
countries conferred Sunday on the
threat to global growth posed by ris
ing interest rates.
Finance min isters and central bank
presidents of the so-called Group ol
Seven — the United States. Japan,
Germany. Britain, France, Italy and
Canada—met behind closed doors at
Dumbarton House in the city’s his
toric Georgetown district.
The G-7 talks were being held in
advance of the annual spring meet
ings of the 178-nation International
Monetary Fund and its sister lending
agency, the World Bank.
Officials said they were not look
ing forany dramatic policy announce
ments to come out of the meetings.
In addition to current economic
prospects, theG-7 officials were sched
uled to get a first-hand report on the
status of economic reform in Russia
from top officials of President Boris
Yeltsin’s government, including
Deputy Prime Minister Alexander
Shokhin.
The IMF last week announced that
it had awarded Russia a long-delayed
$ 1.5 billion loan, which wasexpected
to unlock even greater amounts of
assistance from individual G-7 coun
tries and the World Bank.
- While IMF economists are lore
casting that the global economy in
1994 should turn in its best perfor
mance in five years, that is due prima
rily to unexpectedly strong growth in
the United States.
The IMFhasactuallyrevised down
ward its expectations for growth in
Japan and Germany due to deeper
than-cxpcclcd recessions in those
countries.
