Nano: let’s kill the democrats

Democrats shake Tirana with shattered outrage. Government officials leave the doors and flee out of Tirana. The prime minister emerges from hiding after three days and warns of more bloodshed Nano: let’s kill the democrats 4 killed and over 40 injured by Nano’s fanatics. Teta: We will occupy without pardoning. Midnight killings begin. Masked police shoot at democrats and point automatic rifles at politicians’ chests. PS looting gang enters shops in central Tirana Farewell Azem! Photos of Nano, a bloody coffin to get away By Astrit PATOZI The historical enemy and unresolved enemy of Albanians of a certain time, Fatos Nano, has officially declared an uncompromising war. Since three days ago, when the crowd of democrats filled “Skënderbej” Square in Tirana, he has given the order to shoot at them. His words, overheard last night by people around him, show that the country’s prime minister has lost all control and is once again seeking to inflame the primitive instincts of the masked men he has unleashed at night against citizens and the opposition. “Let’s kill the democrats” is the cry that Fatos Nano has sent to his cronies after the massive protest of the opposition parties. The statement by the head of government comes after an undisputed moral victory that free Albanians managed to record late on Saturday evening, when they put the criminal clique to the test with a magnificent peaceful demonstration. The entire capital yesterday was under the impact of the unprecedented protest organized by the opposition and the popular revolt that broke out in the center of Tirana, as a result of the reckless actions of the police. After killing a democrat in broad daylight in the center of the capital, masked special forces attacked peaceful protesters at midnight, who were demanding the overthrow of Fatos Nano. With an inexplicable rage and a total lack of human feeling, they brutally struck with the butts of their automatic weapons lone citizens in the evening, who were passing by there by chance. Fatos Nano and his executioners did not spare women either. They were chased through the alleys, beaten with rubber truncheons, and left unconscious in the middle of the sidewalks until they were left at the mercy of neighbors. Fatos Nano is today the only prime minister in Europe who has killed his political opponents in the middle of the capital.

Fatos Nano, a bloody coffin to get away

By Astrit PATOZI The historical enemy and unresolved enemy of Albanians of a certain time, Fatos Nano, has officially declared an uncompromising war. Since three days ago, when the crowd of democrats filled “Skënderbej” Square in Tirana, he has given the order to shoot at them. His words, overheard last night by people around him, show that the country’s prime minister has lost all control and is once again seeking to inflame the primitive instincts of the masked men he has unleashed at night against citizens and the opposition. “Let’s kill the democrats” is the cry that Fatos Nano has sent to his cronies after the massive protest of the opposition parties. The statement by the head of government comes after an undisputed moral victory that free Albanians managed to record late on Saturday evening, when they put the criminal clique to the test with a magnificent peaceful demonstration. The entire capital yesterday was under the impact of the unprecedented protest organized by the opposition and of the popular revolt that broke out in the center of Tirana, as a result of the reckless actions of the police. After killing a democrat in broad daylight in the center of the capital, masked special forces attacked peaceful protesters at midnight, who were demanding the overthrow of Fatos Nano. With an inexplicable rage and a total lack of human feeling, they brutally struck with the butts of their automatic weapons lone citizens in the evening, who were passing by there by chance. Fatos Nano and his executioners did not spare women either. They were chased through the alleys, beaten with rubber truncheons, and left unconscious in the middle of the sidewalks until they were left at the mercy of neighbors. Fatos Nano is today the only prime minister in Europe who has killed his political opponents in the middle of the capital. Unfortunately, he is the most irresponsible ruler Albania has known in recent years. Having appeared on the scene as a scrupulous provocateur, Fatos Nano has lost his composure, because he has felt surprised by the spontaneous reaction of the people against his clique. He has understood that his time is over and that the day of his departure is approaching. Now he is interested only in opening as many wounds as possible, leaving as many traces of blood as possible, and creating as much artificial hostility as possible. In these tragic days for Tirana and for the whole country, every Albanian has understood that if he were to do this. Cooperation with Fatos Nano means fratricide and chaos.
