Government: Let the Kosovars die!

Emergency in front of the 17,000 Albanian number expelled from Kosovo, Fatos Nano sends only 7 tons of flour Berisha and the Democratic Party appealed to the world to help the Albanians in distress. “Help us, because we have no government” The government with the spirit taken from the Albanians Instead of responding with humanity to the dramatic situation faced by the Albanian people from Kosovo, the leftist government of Fatos Nano has shown a complete lack of national feeling. Since the beginning of the mass displacement of Albanians from Kosovo, more than 17,000 people have been housed in Kukës and the surrounding districts, while aid from the Albanian government has been entirely negligible. While the international community, humanitarian associations, and ordinary citizens are providing assistance to these expelled brothers, the government in Tirana has been content with empty statements and a symbolic quantity of flour. This behavior has provoked strong reactions in public opinion and within opposition ranks.

An act by the UDB, involvement of Tirana

Rover, Euromovs, APA on the attack against Hajdari Prestigious news agencies and well-known analysts have reacted to the attack on Azem Hajdari. According to their comments, there may be traces of the UDB behind the event, as well as links to political circles in Tirana. The analyses emphasize that the tense political climate in the country is feeding violence and that the opposition is under constant pressure. This event is presented as an alarm signal for the state of democracy and public order.

Government with the spirit taken from the Albanians

Meanwhile, as Serbian terror and violence in Kosovo are forcing hundreds of Albanian families to abandon their homes, the number of arrivals seeking shelter and help in northern Albania is growing every day. Local sources speak of more than 17,000 Kosovo Albanians settled mainly in Kukës and the surrounding districts. Faced with this dramatic situation, the reaction of the Albanian government has been considered delayed and insufficient. State structures have offered only symbolic help, while most of the burden is being carried by local residents, associations, and aid from abroad. In this situation, the opposition has described the Nano cabinet’s behavior as a lack of national feeling and irresponsibility toward a tragedy that directly affects the Albanian nation.
