EDITORIAL If only the flag could speak …some time ago, two goals for the National Team at “Qemal Stafa” Stadium were enough for many Albanian citizens, mostly young people, to kneel before the flag. … their anthem and … kissed “that red and black one”, without knowing even … the National Anthem. … and kissed it and bowed without … … even a fragment of … what happened when this flag … in the hand of Ismail Qe… … 83 years ago, in … of the year 1912… Most of those who … that night, … the next day began to … again for a visa, … the possibility of emigrating somewhere, … this country. Do they not love … that piece of cloth called Sh…? Do they not love the flag … and its Anthem? Those for whom just two goals were enough to feel Albanian to the core, are they not proud to have been born as such? If the flag could speak, that night it would have risen, tearful like all those who were kissing it with love, even adoration, and would have kissed them all one by one. It would have wrapped them up like a good and compassionate mother, asking them not to leave it alone in this stormy time, so full of troubles for it. It would have admired them as they admired it and, ultimately, would have understood that none of them leaves far from it because they do not love it, or because they are not proud to have been born Albanian. It would have said that it suffered just as they did from the separation imposed by ill fate and extreme poverty, and would have forgiven them, with the generosity of a big-hearted mother, for the harsh words that someone, perhaps even only 10 years ago, said and continues to say about those who leave. Ah, if only the flag could speak! With all its soul, it would express the curse of a mother’s strength, reduced to having sons in exile, against those who brought this country to such desperate straits. Because that night, and many others besides it, have shown who truly loves the flag and its inseparable homeland.
