Ramiz Alia returns
Checks at Rinas: arrival remains a mystery, there was no visa in the passport
Who incites terrorism
By Enin BARKI
Sali Berisha has recently openly denounced terrorism. He declared yesterday that the social democratic state, the left-wing government and the ‘Tropoja group’ were favoring and organizing the Kalashnikov counteroffensive; they were taking armed men to kill politicians and Berisha made this statement immediately after the murder of the deputy colonel of the public order and repression corps, as well as after several explosive blasts in Tirana and Gjirokastër. Again and without pause we are following with despair what happened these days in Albania. Yesterday we did so, and last night too, with sounds and characters and Kalashnikovs, with blockades by 6,000 soldiers, with policemen in fear and with the wounded. The bitter warning gathered with it the entire bloody scene for us: the terrible, sensational event of Saturday in Tirana, cut off at the neck from the burst into the past, the demons of the present, their fragile selves and the dements that the party’s viability depended on. These things led, it did not show with outrage, to violence and condemnation, as Berisha has acted with zeal to cleanse right-wing Albania with the monstrosity of the Kalashnikov, it did not penetrate into fairy-tale rhetoric. The killing of Berisha’s deputy colonel is done with a dose of black. In a secret seam with the shadows of the rooster, the populations of nationalism and anti-communism have protested. The primary demands of the persecution were closed with a rush of grenades against public places and institutions with disarmament. These are the changing proofs of the latest symptom of what has been presented over three, four destructive and deadly decades: the absurd duel between the social democrats and the figures of the right. Berisha and this happens for three reasons: first, he is interested in regaining power at any cost. This means that the party base, by thinking about and demanding weapons, is becoming a group for Kalashnikovs for his group. Second, Berisha beneath himself to restore work, slander and the politics of conflict. Third, having lost the hopes and illusions that remained after his ‘victory’ in September, he uses violence as the only means. The truth is that nothing can save him from failure. Neither the support he seeks by any means; nor the pose of the victim; nor the attempt to create panic and confusion. Nor can the return of Ramiz Alia save him.
