Mr.Gjin Marku - Chairman of COMMITTEE OF NATIONWIDE RECONCILIATION - Letter sent exclusively for ACLIS to be published
 | Mr. Gjin Marku |
"I believe you did not get the necessary information about the reasons that the Albanian government is interested in concealing the real situation of enmities and blood feud. The conceal of blood feud has been a continuous behavior of the Albanian government because blood feud is not only an index of lack of justice and effective rule of law, but primarily shows the irresponsibility of the government officials, corruption and the inability of the political class for dealing with the situation. In the recent years this conceal has become more prominent for not hindering the process of the acceptance of Albania in the European Union."

Letter
December 18, 2009
From: MUSLIM FORUM OF ALBANIA - Tirana
To: The Conservative Party of the United Kingdom
30 Millbank, SW1P 4DP
London, UK
 | Mrs. Mirela Bogdani |
Your Excellencies,
The Muslim Forum of Albania has followed with concern the TV Show Déjà Vu that aired on 12/12/09 on the Albanian network Top Channel. In this show, Ms. Mirela Bogdani, who pretends to be a candidate for your party in Wales, UK, has made some offending remarks regarding the multi-cultural realities that exist in your country.
While commenting on a photo in which some Muslim women wearing the headscarf were shown, Ms. Bogdani expressed irony and cynicism regarding the supposed deprivation of freedom incurred by these women due to the wearing of the headscarf.
Ms. Bogdani expressed great concern regarding the "Islamization of Europe" due to the supposed refusal by Muslims to integrate into European culture.
At one point during the show she said that "one part of northern London is now known as Londonistan because when you go there you feel like you are in the Middle East" and also "when I see women with headscarves in the streets my eyes hurt." She also expressed concern regarding the eventual adherence of Turkey in the EU because of Turkey's Muslim population, which according to her would ruin the balances inside the European Union.

According to witnesses present in the Capriccio Bar in the center of Tirana's upscale Bllok neighborhood, Rezart Taci and his bodyguards attacked the journalist, kicking and beating him for roughly four minutes, leaving him unconscious.
Present during the assault were also two other journalist; political commentator Andi Bushati and the editor-in-chief of Vizion Plus TV Arban Hasani, who later testified on the assault on the journalist.
Baze recovered in Tirana's military hospital on Monday evening and was released on the early hours of Tuesday.
He had ran a series of critical reports on his TV Show, Faktor Plus, on Vizion Plus TV accusing Rezart Taci and his company, the ARMO oil refinery of massive tax evasion.
Apart from the TV show, Baze also publishes the Tirana daily TEMA, a publication very critical of the
government.

Sali Berisha's vote rigging is a serious setback for Albania's democratic process. But it should not have come as a surprise to anyone familiar with Berisha because it was just the latest in a long line of his many assaults on democratic institutions.

Gary Q. Kokalari - Political Analyst

By Gary Q. Kokalari
As monitors reported, Albania's recent elections failed to meet international standards, and the fault for this failure falls squarely on Berisha's shoulders. This is because prior to the elections he controlled the levers of power that gave him the ability to hold elections that would have met international standards. But conducting fair elections was far less important to Berisha than maintaining power, and anyone who was hoping for clean elections had to be dreaming.
Vote rigging was just one of the many manipulations Berisha used to undermine Albania's fledgling democracy. No less of an abuse were Berisha's blatant efforts to intimidate the media and block free speech. With his heavy handed censorship of the media and his abuse of state assets, Berisha intentionally distorted the information disseminated to the public so that a large segment of eligible voters were unable to cast their votes with any degree of objectively.

Dritan Prifti
Minister of Economy, Trade and Energy
Republic of Albania
Tirana, Albania
Dritan,
Now that you have been appointed Minister of Economy this puts you in an excellent position to do something about the abuses you wrote to me about in several of your email messages. To help you refresh your memory I've provided copies of several of the messages which appear below.
For instance, you should now be in a position to gather evidence about the violation of the Serbian oil embargo that you claimed, per your November 3, 2008 email, was perpetrated by Sali Berisha. You are also now in a position to do something about the abuses in the telecom sector such as the deal between Berisha and Fatos Nano to sell Albtelecom to the Turks that you referred to in your December 7, 2006 email. Based on your comments, it appears there is a case to investigate both Berisha and Nano for corrupt practices. You are also in the position to finally do something about the telecom interconnection fee abuse that continues to burden Albanians with calling rates that are among the highest in the world. Nano and Berisha have helped perpetuate these fee arrangements, and as you know quite well, Meta was instrumental in setting up these structures so you are in a particularly good position to help unwind these biased agreements for the benefit of the people of Albania.
