The family Gjoni under diktatorship

The Albanian state, the Albanian government can be already baptized with the name of Gangs, all through numerous facts. It is a junta of this so called state, who killes day by day the dignity of this people, is killing the hopes, innocent people and the future of this country. About 4000 Albanians have been shot in these last five years, hundreds of thousands have left Albania, because of violence, unemployment, illiteracy, tens of thousands of dossiers have been opened by the communist dictatorship, helped also by the communist spies. There already a tragedy published through the indipendent and oppository mass-media even in the international space. The most toushed area of Albania is the North, Shkodra. The murders, violencies, kidnaps by day and by night, in the center of the city or in houses, the free movement of the gangs of this state and the insecurity of the people have become part of the daily life. The democrats Agostin and Valbona Gjoni have often been so near to be shot, just because they are democrats, they want a free Albania, without violence and political discrimination. As well as many other Albanian democats, they lined up against communism since the beginning of the democratic developments. They participated in the protest of January 14, 1990 when the bust of Stalin was pulled down, in that of December 13, 1990, when the bust of Enver was pulled down, in the protest of April 2, 1991 against the stealth of votes by Ramiz Alia, where four people, Arben Broci, Bujar Bishanaku, Besnik Ceka, Nazmi Kryeziu, have been killed, and other 162 wounded. They participated at the funeral of the deputy Hajdari on September 14, 1998, where they got even the political punishment by the gangs, led by this communist state. Agostin and Valbona have suffered the rubber sticks, kicks and beastly thumps, threats of physical elimination because of the political activity. The democrat Agostin Gjoni has been also hospitalized because of the tortures. Before he was forced to leave Albania, he was a businessman who possessed a bakery in the “Daniel Matlia” quarter of Shkodra, and many poor people had they daily bread whithout paying. This too did make the communists upset, as they have made of Albania a poor nation, so that today you find out long lists on the shops, when you look for statistics, but the owners do not make them known as they fear the dictators. They wanted to kill even Agostin Gjoni, during the night while sleeping at home. They had put explosive stuff in his house, but thanks God who saved them and made possible for them to be not buried but somewhere on the hard ways of the western world. The communist gangs have marked the democrats and want them dead, while the criminals are free and you see them every day with judges, attorneys, deputies.

      This is the dark Albanian reality, where the life of the political opposers has lost value.

Tirana: The political convictions are punished

Not only in the Northern Albania, or in the cities so-called provinces, but also in the Albanian capital city, in Tirana, the political convictions are severely punished by the communists. The democrats are the victims of the violence. The politic of revenge, led by the communist leaders who govern the country is showed by numerous elements starting with threats, arrests and illtreatments in the police stations, with the kidnapping of the children, and the physical elimination. These are the reasons that have forced and are forcing many democrats to leave their country and go by the ways of the world.

      Kujtim Deliallisi is a subject of the cleanisng politics, the politics of elimination and the killing of democratic wills.

      Kujtim Maliq Deliallisi, born on December 11, 1960, is one of those Albanians who have the heart and soul of a patriot. He was lined with the first ones since the  beginning of the democratic movements. He also was one of the first members, and later the chairman of the DP in the division of the 36-th quarter of Kombinat, where he lived. During all his political activity, Kujtim Deliallisi is highlighted as an unyielding activist. His wife was also active in the DP, giving a great contribution, that costed her the job as a teacher, so she was moved to Ndroq, and this was motivated only for political convictions.

      Kujtim Deliallisi cought the eye of the secret services of the Albanian state for the activity in the democratic movement and his participation in the protests and activities of the DP, as well as his involvement in the various elections, representing the DP. This was a certainty during his open reactions in his quarter in Kombinat of Tirana, arguing everything that was against democracy, menacing the democratic values, and everything sealed with the sing of the power of the traffickers, the corrupted, the murders, the today’s governors. In meantime, the state starts the campaign of threats toward him, considering him a very dangerous person.

      The absurdity of the state’s threats go as far as menacing him to leave the DP and shut up, otherwise his daughter would be kidnaped. The threats of the people dressed up with immunity are part of the reality. We can remember many fatal outcomes fo this kind that have been the subject of many admonishments done to the Albanian Government by the international part.

      Kujtim Deliallisi was forced to leave Albania along with his two daughters, his wife and his mother, for he has two daughters of 11 and 6 years old, and couldn’t swallow the threats and the political discrimination, and in the impossibility to find out a normal reality for his family.

      The communists on power today have found out the elimination of the democrats, the threats to make them lay aside the DP, as a way to rule, giving them the emigration as the only choice in these conditions of terror, pressure, illtreatments, murders and faked trials.

 

There are numerous missing in Kosovo

The eternity of the national ideals has overwhelmed many Kosovars. Those in graves are remembered with respect, but also those whose graves are not known that might be somewhere in pits or woods, or even escaped, their names and activity is remembered. Kosovo is a country that has written so much of history on the battles with the Serb beast. The family Gashi from the historical Llapushnik has its part in the sacred sacrifice for a free Kosovo. It was a good Kosovar family. Agim Gashi and Haxhije Gashi had grown up their brilliant children Ilir, Mentor, Edmond and Mirjan. But the life is impossible where there is injustice, where the people is under the pressur of the invader. Agim Gashi has faced pressure and arguments as a member and activist of the DLK. After an Odissey, on December 2000, this family turnes back to its village Llapushnik where started the problems with threats and terror. The children of this Kosovar are forced to live hidden in other countries. One of the sons, Mentor whose picture we are going to publish, has left his family on August 1999 and neither his relatives nor anybody else in Llapushnik knows anything about his destiny. After the war for the liberation of Kosovo Agim Gashi had pressures even at his home, to tell where his son was. Ilir Gashi, the other member of the family Gashi, has also fought with the people who sought after Mentor, and those were Kosovars too. It is said that he is wanted to be shot for not executing the orders! There are many problems in Kosovo. There is discorde between parties, ethnics, territories etc. however Mentor Gashi and many other Kosovars are missing, and no matter the problems, they are the blood and the life of Kosovo that is hoped to become a model country under the care of the west.

Why was the democrat Izedin Lani menaced?!

The violence and the oppression on the democrats has no end. These last days, according to a secret but certain authority, dark sections of the state’s security have attempted to find out where is living hidden the democrat Izedin Muho Lani. He is certainly wanted to be shot as well as many other innocent democrats. His forerunners had suffered the political persecution since 1946 and Izedin is on their target, as he is a member of the DP since 1991 and partecipant in all the anticommunist protests, especially after the usurpation of the democratic power by the communists in 1997. on August 18, 1997 this democrat suffers the political imprisonment for two months. He was accused to be the organizer of the barrier raised to the former prime minister Bashkim Fino in Bushat, to forbid him to enter in Shkodra, while he was going in north Albania. But the state failed for missing evidence. However he swallowed the beats and bestly tortures along with the statements of the police-men menacing: “we’ll fleece mercilessly all of you people of Sali Berisha”. His house was blown up after the elections of June 24, 2001, already closely-fought by the opposition, and with much disapproval even by the international organizations. This was done by the masked people, with political motives, but fortunately there wereno victims. If we talk about victims, we should say that these last five years have been shot about 5000 innocent Albanians.

The democrats leave

The communists seem to have a final goal, make the democrats leave Albania, if are not able to shot them, so that they might have it easier to  sit on the chairs of stealing, organized crime and trafficking. The wellknown democrat Fatmir Muhamet Bajraku, after  many violations and pressures to be killed, is forced to leave his country for since the foundation of the DP he echoed a pure democracy, for human freedom. The democrat Bajraku risked his life seriously on June 29, 1997 when the fascist gangs of Fatos Nano pushed down the democratic power. On June 30, 1997, in the evening, around the 2130-2200 the police arrested and tortured him in his home, in the presence of his wife and family. For three days he experienced the political prison, where he suffered violence and threats to be killed if he doesn’t lay aside his right wing political convictions. The threats went on with anonymous letters under the door, terrorizing his wife and the children. On February 22, 2002, while Fatmir was coming back to Shkodra from Tirana, masked police men have beaten him without any reason and have told him that all the democrats of doctor Berisha will be shot. On December 12, 1999 along with the democrat Musa Shega, at about 1930, went like a shot, and this last one was heavily wounded. Fatmir and Musa had the bar-restaurant “Flamuri” (the flag) in Shtoj i Ri, that was blown up.

The Gera family discriminated

The social-communists “preach” invain on democracy, for the violence, repression and political discrimination is of the same size, if not larger and then in the Enver Hoxha’s time. The democrat Dritan Gera, born on July 16, 1976 is an appeal against the communist dictatorship and an example of political persecution. He has suffered in these so called years of pluralism, for he comes from an anticommunist family, expropriated, interned and condemned, discriminated during the time of Enver Hoxha. He has suffered cruel tortures, for the only reason of being a democrat. Dritan Gera is noted since younger, in the beginning of the democratic processes in Albania, in the pulling down of the bust of Stalin on January 14, 1990, that of Enver Hoxha on December 13, 1990, to come to that of April 2, 1991, when the students of the secondary schools of Shkodra were those who started the protests against the dictatorship of the former president Ramiz Alia, where four people were killed. In the funeral of Azem Hajdari on September 14, 1998, this democrat, this young Albanian, as many other youngers who aspire in a free Albania, he was tortured by the police of the communist state. Later on, dark sections of the state’s security have provoked him many times threating to shoot him. The violence in Albania is normal now, while even the missionaries of religion are robbed, murdered, and violated. In these circumstances Dritan Gera is forced to leave Albania. The life of the democrats is menaced and the gangster Albanian state is enlarging every day the list of crimes.

Another painful departure

The world already knows that the communist system in Albania was the most ferocious and inhuman of all the East. Comparing to the number of the population, Albania covers the first place in Europe for the shot, imprisoned, interned, the thrown out and the politically persecuted. Following the actual political developments, it is obvious every day more that it is “pridely” keeping the first place in the Est countries, as far as the poverty, repressions and repeated persecutions is concerned, in particular toward some people, mainly for the youngers, who hold western democratic ideas. These acts are done by the state in very fine ways and methods, so that none knows them better then the one who sufferes them. The 1997 was nothing else but the return of the communism in Albania through violence and terror. This return made them more vindictive and abhorrent toward the democracy and the democrat people as well as toward the persecuted and political imprisoned, in particular toward their children, who have actively participated in the political processes, especially to those who have intellectual and organizing abilities. This happened also to the democrat intellectual  Altin Frano Prendi, who was active in the students group since the beginning, in the first list leaded by the democrat hero Azem Hajdari. Altin participated in all the protests from Tirana, then in Shkodra, along with his younger brother Edi, and his father, for his father had suffered 10 years of political imprisonment under the dictatorship. With the victory of the democracy, Altin entered the University “Luigj Gurakuqi” of Shkodra where he was graduated on July 29, 1997. He had a political and cultural activity at the University too. There he founded along with a group of students and professors the indipendent student’s organization “Konstud”, that was approved by the court, and Altin was its’ chairman. Altin was also member of the Albanian Scautist organization “Besa Scaut” since 1993 giving a great help inthis organization. He was also member of the Democrat Youth Forum of the city of Shkodra as well as member of the Democratic Party in Shkodra. Altin’s father suffered the communist Calvary since a student, being imprisoned for 10 years, for political motives. As such he was persecuted and refused all life long by the inhuman system, that was experienced by his children too, as soon as they grew. This fact was another motive why Altin hit the eye of the red demons, who use the democracy as a mask to cover the acts of violence, and not because they are democrats. They didn’t forget Altin and his activity against them, mostly during ’90, ’91 and ’97. They began to use fine methods as “masters” of the earlier security of the dictatorial state, with pressure, threats and blackmail through masked and non masked people, by night and by day, on the road or in certain places. Altin won a competition in Tirana for the Pepsi Enterprise in Shkodra and later on, with a hard work he became the Director of Pepsi for the North-East Albania, and held this position until he left. He left somewhere in the West, leaving alone his father, mother, the sisters and the brother eh loved so much. He was hated because he worked somuch, although the payment was not according to the hard work he was doing. His contribution for the democratic processes in Albania is enormous. One year and a half ago he married Vetëtima Prendi, graduated in the University “Luigj Gurakuqi” of Shkodra. There they knew each-other and collaborated in the Youth Forum, the “Konstud” organization and the Democratic Party. Altin has constantly been a member of the election’s commissions and has given a special contribution for the Kosovars in Shkodra, connecting with foreign organizations to obtain aids for the displaced of the war in Kosovo.

      Altin and his wife Vetëtima have left Albania to save their life by the repression applied by the red mafia in Albania.

A dream to be continued elsewhere…

Apart being a small country in the middle of Europe, Albania appeared to be the country of wonders, this because of some things that only in Albania have been seen or heard.

      A young girl called Anita Viktor Matija, born on September 28, 1983, from the ancient city of Shkodra, becomes a victim of a system or a certain group of people known as the agents of the Albanian Intelligence Service, who serve their charlatan principals with fanatism. As a niece of Broz and Sokol Matija, who died in internment, Anita seems to continue their sufferings, although in a so-called democratic system. She as a young, took hold of the democratic ideas, making an example to her friends, defending the human dignity trampled on for many and many years of red dictatorship. She constantly participates in the pro democratic movements, for she had joined the democratic forums of the Albanian Democratic Party. But this was not pleasant to the red bosses on power, who decide to eliminate her through certain segments of the security of state. One day as she was coming back from a meeting with some relatives, a car without number plate, with closed curtains attempts to strike her, but thanks God she escaped this as there were many people around. In this time they warn her to put aside what she was doing (with this they meant to put aside her involvement with the Democratic Party, and lend a hand to the Security of State). But she didn’t even think about this. She kept on condemning the stealth of the free votes and the human liberties trampled on, until the day, exactly on January 18, 2002, when she is arrested in a meeting and kept for three days in the prison cells of the police section. People with uniform rape her there, for she was young and nice, and the forensic scientist also confirmed this.

      In these conditions, this clever and honest young girl, coming from a persecuted family, is forced to leave her birthplace and emigrate somewhere abroad, perhaps even knowing not the real meaning of the emigration. She wants to save her young life and continue her youth dreams elsewhere, although this was unwanted to her relatives.

      I wish I had touched with these few words, the moral of those who have the power to say their word, so that they might speak out loud. In this way may these incidents never happen to their friends of the same age of Anita, and they might speak out loud their mind, when and where they want.

The wounds of the war in Gjakova

We were in Gjakova, in commission by the journal “Shqipëria Etnike”. The wounds of the war are still “alive” in Gjakova. The material damages are cannot be compared with the human loss. The Serbs had burned up the house of Valentin Murati, as well as to many others from Batush of Gjakova. Edmir, Valentin’s brother and Xhavit, Valentin’s father had joined up the KLA for the liberation of Kosovo, but the Serbs held Xhavit Murati, the Kosovar warrior, as a hostage. He was imprisoned, and still today is missing. Valentin’s brother run off the war as the KLA despised him as a catholic. Valentin Murati has had serious problems with the Serbs as well as with the KLA. He was not engaged in the war, as he was too young. The KLA had considered him a traitor and wanted him shot, in line with the laws of war. This guy had left Kosovo to go around the world and save his life, for he is still in danger. This is how this family from Gjakova was divided. There are many cases like this, and we are going to make them public in the other editions.
