Former senior official ends up behind bars
Iftica had signed the deportation orders
The anti-genocide campaign is active again. And former Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Raqi Iftica has also ended up behind bars. Yesterday the judge ordered Iftica’s arrest and detention as a security measure. The same charge brought against dozens of his former colleagues—“crimes against humanity committed in collaboration”—has opened the prison doors for the former official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as well.

Bushati and Melo shake hands
We will form a regional coalition
PBDNJ and PDK are moving toward a coalition. This is what the leaders, Melo and Bushati, decided yesterday during a brief meeting with one another. Nevertheless, since their parties’ members have not yet given their prior approval, yesterday’s decision by Melo and Bushati will remain only a fond wish to cooperate politically.

“Napoli” helps Dorina
FUSHE-KRUJE - An unknown benefactor from across the sea, overcoming fear and anxiety, reaches out with a hand of hope. Days of waiting and anxiety ... but also hope for the family from Thumanë. It is a story that would move any parent, and every compassionate heart. This is the story of Dorina Shabani, a 13-year-old who, after developing a high fever, accompanied by her parents, is admitted to the hematology ward of the pediatric hospital in Tirana. The doctors confirm the grave diagnosis: leukemia. The prognosis for this serious disease is bleak. The doctors’ efforts, including those of Qendro Kore, and the entire staff are tireless; her condition has been stabilized with great difficulty, but the threat remains. And considering the extremely difficult state of Albanian healthcare, treatment in the country was impossible. A very costly course of treatment had to be covered by Dorina’s working-class parents.
And suddenly, a miracle arrives from afar: a message of salvation. A hand reaches out from far away to help the little girl. It is none other than Napoli. In record time, everything has been arranged in the city so that Dorina and her father can recover their hope ... and perhaps even be saved.
Meanwhile, Dorina’s father has one wish left to fulfill: the wish his daughter expressed on her last evening at the hospital, though it has not yet come true, that the staff take her on some imb... We join in our sincere hopes for the little girl’s recovery and swift return to her family.
Albanians’ disputes “take over” the internet
The quarrels have now begun in the ether too...
TIRANA - Disputes among Albanians have reached international computer networks as well.
The age-old tendency of the sons of the eagle has appeared in one of today’s greatest achievements in computing: the famous “Internet,” which has spread throughout the world, enabling people on all five continents to exchange information.

Now even the street sweepers are fluorescent

Reflective uniforms for night workers
TIRANA - Now even the street sweepers are fluorescent. Night workers will no longer have problems. In their new clothing they will be safer around cars, whose drivers late at night cannot clearly make out the speed limits. The uniforms, with yellow stripes, shine when first struck by light and can be seen from far away.
This is the first time such a method has been put into practice in Albania. Now every night you can see moving lights walking through the capital’s streets in the dark. They are neither fireflies nor illuminated signs, but the “glowing” clothes that now make cleaners’ work safer.
In Tirana, the women had previously protested about their working conditions and the fact that they did not feel safe at night. Cars speeding at dizzying speeds had been a serious problem for them. Indeed, one of their colleagues had been a direct victim: a car had hit him as he calmly went about cleaning. But now it seems this problem will no longer exist. At least not entirely. A drunk driver cannot even see a headlight...
