The communists, resembling
the beasts, want to see blood even when they eat While it looks like the political groups have
decided a truce, the open front of war, as well as threatening for the
democratic values, is the persecution, murders and various threats. The
balance of this persecution is tragic. The means and ways are the most
inhuman. The army involved in this long and fatal battle for the destiny of
the democratic values is the "red army", the army that accompanied
the democracy and the era of the great changes, with a pathologic hatred
against everything and everybody, as it was the communism. One of the many
victims is the young guy 22-years old, Valter Mullaymeri. He was executed by exponents of the secret
police of the state, for the simple reason he was a member of the democratic
movement and a distinguished activist to eradicate the communism. The secret
police of the communist state, empowered after the Bolshevik revolution of
1997, had not enough with the murder of Valter Mullaymeri, the kidnapping of his daughter along with her
son and the husband, the explosive put to the house, but went on with the
political revenge against the family Mullaymeri.
This family couldn't resist for so long the persecution, threats of death and
not founding a different way of escape, had to leave Albania. Their departure
on May 2002 was also their "divorce" from the democratic movement
and contributions. This wasn't the only way just for the family Mullaymeri, but also for all those who worked and acted
against communism, against the dictatorial doctrine, now on power with a new
contingent and with the support and management of the police structures of
the state. Tonin
Frroku Telling the truth is
difficult in Albania The wonders in the little country are great. Along
with many negative phenomenons in Albania, a new
one is coming out, as it is the physical elimination of the opponents. Such
is the case of Mr. Iron Skënder
Çano, former inspector in the municipality of Shkodra. He was raised up in an honest family, as a
sincere and honest man, so he made known the stealing of a fond of 10 million
DM, offered to build up a new aqueduct and to repair another one, in order to
furnish a great part of the city. Knowing the stealth of this sum of money,
he didn't permit this investment without finding the money. The persons
responsible had to do something to save their heads. The best way for them
was to get rid of Mr. Çano.
Specialized people paid with the stolen money, in the The criminals, used to do their work to the end, are
not enough with the wounding of Mr. Çano, but keep on with threats and throwing explosive in
the court of the house. They had menaced him even before, to make him close
his mouth, otherwise… For how long do we have to fear these criminals who
make open pressure on the states' administration, hindering them to work
honestly? We think it is the moment for the state to do his job in order to
prevent these cases to be repeated. Albert Vataj The revenge strikes There are many Albanians forced to submit the
Canon's revenge of blood-feud. This comes because the law doesn't work. If a
criminal kills one hundred people, he has his life still secured, as there is
no death penalty. In these conditions, the little Albania has become a big
slaughterhouse. The most banal envy might end in murders, all managed by the
state. The northeastern area of Albania is mostly
touched. There is neither one day without a record of a murder, wounding, or
attempt to commit murder. A problem is also being the crime within the
family. Ylber Burgaj, the
guy you see in the picture, is also a victim of the revenge. He has escaped a
long time a go in order to save his life but just
two days ago, his father, Hilmi Burgaj,
was shot with machine gun in his own home in the village Grizhë
of Gruemira. He lived hidden, and while going home
to have a bath and wash up, his enemies were waiting for him in an ambush. He
had only two bullets in his leg, and as there is still anarchy, he had to go
and heal privately. This started on The situation between these two families is bad and
every attempt toward their reconciliation seems to be useless, although
according to the Canon, these two families are "evenly balanced". The phenomenon of blood-feud has no chance to be
reduced. No matter the good job of the Mission for the Peace, in Shkodra there is a district of people shut in who defend
themselves. This district is called the district of blood-feud, in Kiras. The state knows everything through the media, but
is unable to do anything. Sokol
Pepushaj The state killing its'
citizens After the political murder of Gjovalin
Zefi in 1997, and the protest of the anticommunist city of Shkodra,
the well known democrat Armand Dingu,
nephew of the man killed by the communists, promised to insist on finding out
the authors of the crime, but the dictators, the killers organized actions to
kill him. Armand Dingu was thus forced to leave for
Luxemburg, until the police caught him there sending him back in Albania on Zog
Hysenaj The situation in Kosovo is
serious During my visit in the last week in Kosovo, as soon
as went through Tropoja in the border between
Albania and Kosovo, I noticed Gjakova; the villages
deserted and burned up by the war, army forces clearing the ground from
mines. I stop in the village Qerimaj, in the
municipality of Gjakova. This village was a
powerful base for the KLA. There we met Afrim,
19-years old, who told us he had come back to the village in July of this
year, and there he came to know his father Shaqir
and the mother Sema were killed. The house was
totally destroyed. With tears in his eyes he tells us that only his sister Valdete and his brother Përparim
Rexhaj, born on July 16, 1972, were alive, and this
last was in England since August 1998, while their parents in a tomb. The situation in Kosovo is still unclear and follows
the families who were a base to the KLA. Zef
Nika State, family, person Often, walking by the roads of Shkodra,
you notice a young handicap boy, walking alone on crutches. When people ask
him if he has anybody to help him, he answers: My mom and my dad are old,
while I know nothing about my only brother. Where is this brother that leaves
his brother without help from the state, which cares not about these
persons?! The story is hurting. By the end of March 2000, in
an incident (suddenly) Dejnis Hysenaj,
trying to protect his handicap brother, who had nervous disturbs because of
the ill treatment by some criminals, is violated and later sent to the
hospital. Being menaced, and having no protection by the state, he is forced
to shut up and make no denounce, saying he was crashed by a car. A few days
later, after he came out of the hospital, the criminals ill treat him again,
menacing his family. Since then Dejnis left his
town, as none protects him, for the Albanian state doesn't feel like it's
their duty to protect the lives of its' citizens, who are forced to leave
their country, having no security of life. That's the motive he left his
handicap brother in the hands of the destiny. But who are those criminals? Does anyone know them?
Yes, of course, but just like Dejnis, we too are
afraid to mention their names. Flori
Slatina The love between to younger
risks the life of others This is a very shocking story that occurred in the
Albanian reality in the northern areas of this country. Nosh Shkami, a young guy from the village Qerret
of the municipality of Temal, came to know a girl
from Laç of Vau i Dejës, whose name we are signing D.P., for her security.
After many efforts to talk to the parents of her, who were against this
marriage, the above mentioned Nosh Shkami kidnapped
the girl and brought her in his house. The girl's parents pursue to kill him,
as it is custom in the mountains, although they have decided to stay
together. Her parents feel dishonored and according
to the Canon of Lek Dukagjini
he should die. Feeling the danger, he emigrates from Albania. His family went
on the mountains. They treat his wife as part of the family. The missionaries of reconciliation, time after time
have made efforts to close this conflict, but nothing was done. In these
conditions, Nosh and his family are in serious danger. Zef
Nika Selman Ramollaj,
victim of the communist dictatorship The Albanian communists, converted in socialists,
are famous to make up conflicts between people, more than ever during
elections. A similar episode occurred in the village Ura
e Shtrenjtë, the commune of Postriba
in the region of Shkodra. During the parliamentary
elections in this village, the democrat commissioner Selman Ramollaj, was at logger heads with a member of his
village, for political as well as for property motives, and killed him, in
the day of the elections of June 24, 2001. Since then the family Ramollaj is shut in, in the security of life, because of
the phenomenon of blood-feud, making a slaughter in north Albania. In these circumstances, Selman's son Jetmir Ramollaj, born on This is one of the painful stories of the Albanian
life where the social communists on power, put disagreements between the
people, causing murders, to make it easier for them to keep the power.
However Jetmir is now far away, but he is concerned
about the destiny of his family, yet this is the bitter Albanian reality. Artur Dega |
