This state has lost its mind

The leader of the Albanian opposition Sali Berisha in the conference of the DP of Tirana, spoke hardly about the social communist government, not only for the money cleansing of the terrorists of Al Qaeda by the chief Mafioso Edi Rama, who form the seat of the mayor of Tirana is serving the terror, and also about the fascist violence on the democrats. The Albanian democrats are in serious danger. The activist of DP, Ermal Alija, born on Shkodra in May 6, 1982, is one of those democrats, victims of violence and anarchy, where the secret police, politically supported, takes revenge, puts them in the lists of death. In those lists is first of all written the Albanian freedom and democracy, suffering every day more these beats.  Such beats resulting in death were suffered by the family of the democrat Ermal Alija. Since the beginning of the democratic processes, his parents Adem Alija and Shpresa Alija, have given a contribution on installing the democracy, while many times have been on the target of the gangs, to be eliminated. This family had made up a little business while the DP was on power, years ago, but the year 1997 brought back on power the sons of communism, with violence, braking down the weapons depots, totally destroying the Albanian army, becoming so an open burial where life and death were almost one. Their business was destroyed. The family Alija had to pay unbearable bills to the gangs of a state of anarchy, who attempted to kidnap their son, the democrat Ermal Alija. According to some reliable sources we have, he was seriously threatened, right in the center of the city. But right in the center of the city of Shkodra many democrats have been fired. In the conditions of anarchy of an anarchist state, Ermal Alija, just like many other younger has no address today. This madness comes by the insecurity of life, and even the attempts to take the life of those in political opposition, who aspire freedom and progress. This is the Albanian state, a so called state that has totally lost its mind.

The violence on the democrat Sejfullah Kraja accuses…

Sejfullah Kraja comes from an anticommunist family. His father Musa Kraja and his mother Bedrije Kraja, during the unparalleled dictatorship of Enver Hoxha were politically discriminated and deprived of the human rights and liberties. Their properties and shops were sequestrated, and in 1960, while he was still a child, only 16, they were interned in a village in the mountains of Shkodra, living in a house made up of woods. They had to work all the day as imprisoned just to have some cornbread to eat, covered with plastic stuff and lying on rags. At the end of their internment, in 1963 he was enlisted in the army in a work division as an “enemy” of the people, and for two years of military service he was not allowed to go home, even when his father died in 1964. He was one of the first to give his contribution to pull down the red dictatorship since the beginning of the democratic processes in Albania, just after the fall of the Wall in Berlin. On January 14, 1990, when the bust of Stalin was pulled down and in December 13, 1990, in pulling down the monument of Enver Hoxha, he was one of the organizers. In the first case Sejfullah Kraja was arrested and tortured for 15 days, while in the second, the worst, while about 300 people were arrested, Sejfullah was condemned of 15 years of prison with the absurd accusation of “Illegal protests with the goal of violently pulling down the people’s power”. Since then he is a member and activist of the political anticommunist Association “13th December 1990”. He is the father of Sejdiljan Kraja, born on August 1, 1980 and Senada Kraja, born on May 23, 1984. On April 2, 1991, when the people of Shkodra protested for the stolen votes, while the building of the Comity of the Party of Labor, the institutions of the dictatorship, the Internal Branch, were burned up, the policemen left their place and used violence on the protesting people, wounding 163 of them and killing Arben Broci, Bujar Bishanaku, Nazmi Kryeziu and Besnik Ceka, who now are martyrs of democracy. Irritated people, amongst who was Sejfullah Kraja, broke the prisons of Shkodra and joined the protest. His wife Bukurije Kraja (Belsia) was one of those anticommunists who suffered the police violence. That same day many women and children had been beaten. Ramiz Alia had commanded for all the democrats to be killed. In 1991-1992, when the political pluralism was allowed, Sejfullah Kraja is one sympathizing The Legality Movement Party. He was convinced that His Majesty Leka I was could take Albania off the crisis. The leader of this party Ibrahim Sokoli was his friend. As a member and activist of this anticommunist party he wanted the realization of its program, as it was the return of the properties, the return of the King in Albania etc. but the democratic party was severe in its program, not tolerating, but making the legalists to organize meetings, protests and strikes. On June 1992, before the election of the president of Albania, the legalists, and Sejfullah Kraja with them, organized a powerful strike. The police intervened beating them, and because of that Sejfullah Kraja was forced to be treated in the hospital of Shkodra, in order to live. On October 10, 1993, Sejfullah became a member of the Legality Movement Party. The legalists had requests even against democrats on power, who were playing with the destiny of the nation, and against the socialists in opposition who were the sons of the dictatorship. But even in the DP there were menu spies, communists and people involved in many crimes. In this way Albania went toward the dark year 1997 when the socialists won the elections through violence. In those elections the legalists demanded a referendum about the form of government. Leka I comes in Albania on April 1997, and till the elections of June 29, 1997 the King realized 200 meetings with the people all over Albania, especially in North, where was also Sejfullah Kraja, distinguished in those meetings. The Monarchy had won indeed, but the Elections’ Commission, fearing the socialists as well as the democrats, gave false results proclaiming the defeat of Monarchy. In July 3, 1997, in the “Skenderbejsquare of Tirana the legalists led by the King protested against the stolen votes. The violence used caused many wounds and even one dead. On July 9, 1997 Leka I leaves Albania as an undesired person, while a few days later was condemned with three years of prison for violent participation in protests. The legalists are so on the target of the Albanian politics, especially the older political opponents of the social communists, as it was the family of Sejfullah Kraja. In April 1997, was burned up the shop of Sejfullah Kraja, where he worked with his wife and his son. In February 1998, his house was burned up destroying everything he had done with hard work. On January 1999 he was arrested and kept for 6 days isolated, for unauthorized protests. In those days was arrested even his son and kept for 3 days isolated. There was an attempt to make up an accusation of collaboration. The legalists in Albania have now alliance with the democrats, republicans and those of the front, in order to pull the communists down, while these are taking revenge. On December 25, 2000, masked people kidnap him, but he fortunately could escape. On January 31, 2000, his son was arrested and isolated for 20 days. In the elections of October 2000 the legalists and those of the front made alliance in the United Right of Shkodra. On February 10, 2001, he was forced to send his wife and daughter away from Albania, to save their life. He organizes activities to open a way to the return of the King, while in the elections of June 24, 2001, his son was arrested, while he was living hidden in the house of his cousin called Fadil Kraja. On February 14, 2001, there was organized a strike against the police violence and the political arrest of many legalists, amongst who was also his son. Sejfullah Kraja was again arrested in this occasion for three days and was commanded to stay in Shkodra while his documents would be sent to the court for illegal organization of protests. On February 14, 2001, after a meeting with the leader of the legalists Mr. Ekrem Spahija, where it was made a discussion about the alliance “Union for Victory”, for the elections of June 24, 2001, Sejfullah too made a speech, while near the house of his cousin, where he was living hidden, he meets two persons coming out of a car with no number plate, who call him by name and say they’ll kill him if he doesn’t stop his propagation against them. One of them put his gun on his head while the other beats leaving him lying down. The next day he makes this known to the leader of his party Burhan Agri, who also is a friend of the journal “Shqipëria Etnike”. He and his cousin called Afrim have no address since then.

Terror is powerful in Albania

The violence in Albania now have become a purpose, may be with a screenplay, as the law is powerless to stop it. The violence is very dangerous to the life of honest and innocent people, to the life of those who want freedom, democracy, and progress as worthy citizens of the Albanian society. The violations are so much, causing every day new wounds that will need a long time to heal; obviously if there will ever be a state of law. There are low possibilities and the Albanian horizon is dark. Two people called Altin and Arjan Demaj have kidnapped the sister of a young guy called Rajmond Smakaj, born on August 4, 1991 in the Northern city of Shkodra. Because of this, in a quarrel they kill even his father called Hasan Smakaj and his brother Arben Smakaj. As the lawin powerless, while the revenge is transmitted by generations in the Albanian subconscious, the killers, fearing his revenge, try to kill even Rajmond, although he was terrorized and violated by this drama in his family. That’s how harsh is the crime and the terror in this country where those who are innocent, as it is the case of Rajmon Smakaj, are forced to leave Albania to live their life. The danger is unpredictable in Albania. The way is clear only to the gangs whom after violating, killing the familiars, want to kill even those who are still alive.

The Serbs of Mitrovica want to kill Arben Mustali

He has done nothing. He is just an Albanian, while the misfortune seams to follow the Albanians even for many years. The “guilt” of this young guy, innocently smiling in the picture featuring this article, is that he was born in Veçan, a village near the divided city of Mitrovica, on the other side of the river Iber. His name is Arben Riza Mustali. He was born on September 30, 1971, and grew up in an Albanian environment, educated with the best feelings of patriotism and love for his country. He had never thought that someone would force him to leave his dear birthplace, the loved village of Veçan, where he was born and grown up in the loving family Mustali. For many years the Serb politics had programmed the evacuation of the Albanians from their lands and their populations with Serbs in the northern area of Mitrovica, the city rich of minerals in all the ex-Yugoslavia. The pressure of the Serbs to make the Albanians leave their land was high especially after 1998 when the inhabitants turned back at their home, after the intervention of the armies of the alliance of NATO. By the pressure and the violence used by the military Serb forces, and without any strong support of the French police forces, in charge with the order in the city of Mitrovica, many families had been forced to leave their homes and go in other places of Kosovo. To stop this painful hemorrhage, Arben Mustali appeals the Albanians to stay in their homes and leave not the land of their ancestors to the Serbs. He resists the offerings of money as well as the threats for his elimination and the ill treatment of the other members of his family. In 2000, Arben was mistreated by payed policemen of the Serb secret service, while a few days after, his house in the village Veçan was burned up.

        Facing these conditions, without home, married and with the life in serious danger, Arben is forced to leave his birthplace, to live in another state where the law workes and the life and freedom are protected. He cannot go anymore in the Mitrovica, violently occupied by the Serbs, neither in his beloved Kosovo, as his name is written in the black lists of the Serb secret service. He as well as many others are sought to be killed because the Serbs want Mitrovica and the whole Kosovo without Albanians.

Threatened by the Kosovars in Gjakova, sought to be killed by the Albanians in Shkodra!

His name is Fatmir Qazimi and was born in the city of Gjakova on March 24, 1972. The bad luck of Fatmir starts since before he was born. His father was married with Rabije, a peasant of Bosnian nationality. This marriage is the cause of many troubles and sufferings for the entire family.

        The citizens of Gjakova couldn’t forgive Qazim his marriage with a Bosnian woman and their hatred for this family was increasing since then, so that they received many anonymous letters with death threats. In these conditions of high pressure and a serious danger for their life, in 1982, while Fatmir was only 10 years old, Qazim along with his family have to leave with great sorrow their birthplace to be established in Bardhaj near the northern city of Shkodra, but there is no better luck for Qazim here than in Kosovo. In the beginning of the ’90-s, with the start of the protests to overthrow the dictatorship, Fatmir and his brother Maliq are at the head of the irritated people aspiring in a free democratic state, what was included in the program of the democratic progressive forces led by Sali Berisha. The years 92-96, with the government of the DP have been the best and most quiet years for the family of Fatmir, but even this was over with the violent return on power of the former communists after the bolshevist revolution of spring 1997. In June of that same year Fatmir was arrested twice and tortured in the police station of Shkodra, as an opponent of the communist “converted” in socialists. A haematoma in his lower lip, in the left arm and a gash on his front are the clear testimony of the violence used on Fatmir by the robot-policemen of the Mafioso state. That same year some masked killers murder Maliq, Fatmir’s brother, in an ambush. Yet they’re not full up, for after Maliq’s death they send anonymous letters and threatening phone calls to Fatmir, in order to make him stop his political activity supporting the Democratic Party in Shkodra. In this case, while the life of Fatmir and his wife and the entire family were seriously in danger he leaves Albania to go elsewhere, where freedom and life are guaranteed. He cannot go back in the Albanian land: Threatened by the Kosovars in Gjakova, sought to be killed by the Albanians in Albania.

Many democrats are missing; Altin Dashi is one of them

Many people are missing in Albania just like in Kosovo. The violence of the anarchist state, directed by the politics has caused about 4600 Albanians murdered only in these last six years. The democrat Altin Pashko Dashi, one of the activists of the DP, has no address today. None knows either he is hidden, murdered or if he left Albania. He was in the list of those to be killed by the gangs since the beginning of the democratic processes in Albania. On January 14, 1990, when the bust of Stalin was pulled down and on December 13, 1990, pulling down that of Enver Hoxha, Altin was there where he suffered the violence of the police of Ramiz Alia. The same violence was used on him on April 2, 1991, protesting against the stolen votes, as well as on September 14, 1998, in the funeral of Azem Hajdari. In the anarchy of 1997, Altin Dashi was injured on his head, on the right side, thus he saved himself for a miracle, while today he has no address.
