Albania under dictatorship
In a society that aims progress, with great goals
for the future, the basic principles of the state administration should
normally be the security of life and the satisfying of people even when the yare missing. The Albanian state is showing a clear
distance from the people, enlarging the dictatorship, the political and economical differentiation and is headed toward the
moving back of the society. This girl, this democrat who loves the life and
worked so much on the emancipation of society is called Manila Ismet Vorfa and was born on July 26, 1974, in the
famous anticommunist town of Shkodra.
She is the daughter of Ismet Vorfa,
who was politically condemned from 1967 till 1970, coming from a family who
had its’ properties and all the richness sequestrated, a family that was
interned for two years in the village Sheq-Marinas
of Fier, in south Albania. She participated in the anticommunist protest of January 14, 1990, June 16, 1990, December 13, 1990, April 2, 1991 etc. She
suffered violence and ill-treatments by the anarchists, unfortunately on
power in Albania. On April 2 the security of state that killed four persons
and wounded other 163, had planned to kill even the democrat Manila Vorfa, who had many fractures on her body because of the
beats she suffered. Her life was seriously menaced as she was a member of the
Political Anticommunist Association “13 December 1990”. The
day of the parliamentary elections, on June 24, 2001, she was a commissioner of the
Democratic Party in the section Nr. 2 of the voting center
Nr. 206. At 21:30, after
the elections’ boxes were closed, two strangely wearing and masked people
with a van tried to rob the elections’ boxes. The democratic commissioner
resisted them. She was beaten, and for her good fortune, she wasn’t kidnapped
because of the intervention of some people going by. The elections in that
section were annulled, but in the next round, after many manipulations the
socialist deputy Lekë Çukaj
won against the democratic Mark Krroqi. The police
at that time had also menaced our journalist Vasel Gilaj. The pressures on the democrat Manila Vorfa passed on her family until the day she was forced
to leave Albania. This dictatorship in Albania is being even wilder than
during the time of Enver Hoxha.

Intellectuals attacked
To keep the power of violence and injustice, the
dictators attack first of all the brain of the society, the intellectuals. An
actual case is that of the architect Artani Golemi, the son of Bujar Golemi, the ex deputy of the
Albanian Democratic Party. For three years he gave his contribution as an
architect in the municipality of Shkodra, the
largest city of north Albania. He also was a member of the Political Anticommunist Association “13 December 1990”. As such he hit the eye of
the dark forces of the security of the state, which supervised and menaced
him, troubling his life in order to make him feel insecure. The life of the
whole Albanian intellectuals with progression visions is threatened. In these
last five years have been fired four thousands of Albanians, 204 of them were
policemen and 26 politicians! The state of masks, rubber sticks, prisons and
the daily political murders was able to trouble the life of the intellectual Artani Golemi, forcing him to
emigrate. This way of dealing with clear arrogance with the true
intellectuals, wants to hinder the integration of Albania in Europe and make
possible that the power keepers hold their seats smelling of crime.

The Kosovo of conflicts
It wasn’t a tradition for the Albanians to have
conflicts, but many years ago, while Anton Çeta was
admired for reconciliation, the conflicts grew passing even in Albania. The
problems between the religions are growing, especially after 1997, when even
Bin Laden is supposed was sheltered in Albania. Kosovo has been a center of terrorism even during the war and later even in
our days, the religious conflicts got worse with the spreading of a leaflet
four or five months ago, published in a journal, calling for struggles
between Catholics and Muslims, the situation got even worse. Many Catholics,
who didn’t join the KLA against the Serbia of Milosevic, were considered
traitors by the KLA, creating conflicts amongst Albanians. Many have been
killed, but many Catholics have been forced to leave their country, Kosovo,
to go and get shelter somewhere abroad. This is the case of the families Berisha, Kolaj, Goraj, etc. from Gjakova. After
the events of September 11 of the last year, many fundamentalist groups have
been organized. However, many of them have been discovered and arrested,
according to reserved information we have, because of the good job of the
international forces.

Do the Serbs have to beg
pardon to the Albanians of Kosovo, while the women of Kosovo are still
carrying the violence, used on them by the paramilitary?
The international forces hoped that making known the
truth, would make the Serbs to accept their fault and start to reconcile with
the other people of the ex-Yugoslavia, who suffered rape, violence, ethnical
cleansing and massive murders. The war against the Kosovars was terrible. It
was a great burden also for the young mothers and girls who stood in their
lands growing their children. They suffered the violence from the Serb
militaries. Land Prek Kaceli,
born on May 20, 1976,
tells to our journal that the district she lived in Peja
was mostly populated by young girls and just married women. The Serb forces
have used violence on us, putting us in an abandoned house, where we suffered
a wild violence, she says. I left on August 29, 1998, from Peja,
where I left my mother, my father and the little daughter. Since then I’m not
the one I was and I was scared to explain to my husband Paulin,
what we had been suffering. I cry day and night for my daughter… I have been
seen by the psychologist and have explained him everything, but I cannot
explain the truth to my husband who had bad “mentalities” and everything bad
might suddenly happen… I want to have my children and not lose them, she says
ending her story… Now crime and corruption is dominating Kosovo. It is the
organized crime of the gangs united with the former communists of the secret
serviced and the paramilitary groups. In these last three years, Kosovo is a center of trafficking, while the Kosovar women are still
suffering the consequences of war.

An occasional conflict can
destroy an entire family
The picture you see is that of the young guy named Miri Zef Blini,
born on Palaj of Shosh on
September 10, 1985.
He was born in this village surrounded by mountains, where his predecessors
defended the religion, repelling the foreign invaders. What troubles the
young Miri, his father Zef
and the mother Prenda, is a conflict his brother
Fran had with Deda, a friend of him while playing
soccer. Deda had a knife and wanted to knife Fran,
but he avoided it and knifed him in return, causing him to die. In this
situation, the entire family of Miri is shut in
their home, waiting for the family of the victim to take revenge, as it is
custom for those areas. In order to save Miri, his
father paid 4000 dollars, to send him illegally in England. He went in London
in March 2002, with a camion full of clandestine people. He was forced to
emigrate, in order to save his life. According to the Canon of Lek Dukagjini, he might be
condemned just as it was his brother, although he committed no crime. For him
it is unsafe to return in Albania, for he can be killed by the family of the
victim and the state is unable to protect him. Nothing was done, no matter
the intervention of the missionaries of peace. An entire family doesn’t work,
and no male of the family can go out, but the women.

Terror on children
His name is Marjan Gjonaj, he is still underage, yet he has suffered the
dose of the antihuman violence of the red anarchy, used on democrats these
last five years. The young guy you see in the picture comes from an anticommunist family. His father Gjergj
Nikë Gjonaj is a member
and activist of the Democratic Party since 1991, as well as a member of the anticommunist association of the political persecuted in Shkodra. Masked people have wounded his father, Gjergj Gjonaj, on June 17, 2001, and on October 27, 2001, gangs
stroke him with a vehicle. Marjan’s brothers,
Gasper and Prekë Gjonaj
have contributed on the installation of the Albanian democracy, which made
them a target for the dictators, who have killed over 4700 innocent Albanians
only in these last five years. The facts are clear. The family of this young
democrat has been persecuted even during the communist regime of Enver Hoxha. His father’s
uncle, Rev. Dedë Maçaj
was fired as a priest while he was 27 years old, after being recruited! Only
from Shkodra have been fired 153 clericals by that
regime, and most of them were priests. The Albanian anticommunists
today are suffering the same physical and psychological terror and even the
young Marjan Gjonaj has
his life menaced. He was forced to leave Albania, as well as many of his
friends of the same age. But we cry with a loud voice: The power keepers, who
made of Albania a slaughterhouse, are those who should leave it, not the
democrats, who love freedom, democracy, human rights and civilization.

The state is killing the
future
Unfortunately there’s no light hope in the horizon
of the Albanian politics. People are killed without motive, and the violence
is being installed. This young guy, named Markoz Tinaj, has suffered the rubber sticks, kicks and violence
from the policemen, just because he is a democrat. He comes from an anticommunist family who were persecuted. His parents
have given a great contribution as members and activists of the Democratic
Party and have been menaced to death. Especially after 1997, his life was
seriously menaced. Markoz Tinaj,
on the funeral of the deputy Azem Hajdari, on September 14, 1998, was beaten by the police as well as
many other democrats. The anarchists signed his name to kill him, until the
day he left Albania.
This innocent guy is still today in the lists to be
killed. This is the state that kills its’ citizens, its’ future.

The socialists’ revenge on
democrats is not over
After the tragic events of 1997 in Albania, when the
communists came back on power, their revenge on the democrats has no end.
Such is the case of Admir Cufaj,
who is constantly threatened by the security of state. Since the foundation
of the Democratic Party in Shkodra, Admir was its’ member and activist, distinguished in this
party. He has been supporting Azem Hajdari for a long time. Admir Cufaj was distinguished as an anticommunist
during all his activity, for the communist dictatorship has fired his
grandfather. Mr. Cufaj is
also member of the Anticommunist Association “13 Dhjetori 1990”. Because of all these facts and others
activities that hit the eye of the socialists, which got the power violently,
Admir Cufaj has been many
times arrested. The police has ill-treated and menaced him. Along with him
has been arrested even his wife Xhixha Darcaj, for she not only has helped him in his political
activity, but she also was a journalist in the anticommunist
TV broadcaster “Antena Nord”. In these conditions
of incessant threats, they have been forced to leave Albania.
