Four government officials ‘sacrificed’ for Corridor 8

Tirana submits a request for new solutions Albania appears to be the symbol of victory in a meeting held in Copenhagen for the project agreement. Tirana yesterday submitted a new request for new solutions, not agreed with the Macedonian side, showing that at present the government has appeared to be on a ‘hunger’ strike. Transferred without being heard, in a ‘bosom’ perhaps occupied and occupied with taking of dikes/languages, there are three government officials who have withdrawn themselves with questionable political protection. 22 March 2000

A shattering story: the Ministry of Defence “undermines” the Pact...

A shattering story of two orphaned girls in Elbasan “undermines” the Pact... Another shocking event involving orphaned families. In the wake of the abuses under the authoritarian government comes the case of the 12-year-old girl, who was brutally raped repeatedly over the last 8 months by a relative. Months have passed for good. With their parents having gone to Greece to find a refuge in Italy, far from poverty and misery, the children were left in Elbasan without a father or mother. Two unfortunate children, the 7-year-old and the 12-year-old, with their parents gone and no one to support them, fell victim to a 26-year-old from their village. After raping her for the first time 8 months ago, the 26-year-old and his brother always took her to the forest, forcing the 12-year-old to have sexual relations. Alma, they have left their native town and live in Elbasan, where they try to survive on the charity of relatives and some small pensions. With the father, whose body has still not been found, the disappearance remains the result of unrestrained violence by unknown persons. p. 4
