Welcome to the Canadian National Multilingual News Group (CNMNG). This is a project made possible through funding by Canadian Heritage. CNMNG aims to gather news researched and written by a corps of Canadian-based journalists/writers from the country’s multilingual community groups. The overall goal is to inform, analyze and critique the issues of the day in a professional manner and to provide that to publishers and editors active in the ethnocultural-multilingual press and media whose experience provides them with a perspective that is sensitive to news relevant to their own language group.

The fires rise to the sky, the fires rise in gloomy flames.” Giovanni Lindo Ferretti, with these words contained in the 1996 song Cupe Vampe (Gloomy Flames), had described the agony and suffering of Sarajevo during the long and brutal siege, one of the most tragic episodes of the Balkan War of the nineties.
