GOVERMENT DIVIDE OF VILLAGES AND FAMILIES IN HAS ON THE BORDER OF ALBANIA - KOSOVO IN COLLECTIVE MEMORIES
Session
Journalism, Media and Communication
Description
During the communist system the areas near borders experienced the worst possible horror, as apart from dividing the villages by half, as was the case with the villages of Guruzhup and Zylfaj on the territory of Has, where these two villages were divided into two states, the other villages of this province were unfairly subdivided. separated many families from their families. With the closure of the border after June 1948, dozens of marriages were broken, dozens of new marriages that were engaged, children separated from parents, etc. were not possible. In the wake of this communist catastrophe, in order to destabilize Albania, communist Yugoslavia engaged hundreds of people, who forcibly adopted them as tools of power to bring many Albanian families to Yugoslavia. These individuals were called terrorists who were forced to cross the border at night and distribute tracts, while displaced families in Kosovo were called immigrants and mistreated for becoming tools of the Slavic regime. Through historical memory, since some of the characters in these events are still alive, I have communicated and talked directly with many of them, and most have talked during 1991, when I also published stories in the “Bota e Re” newspaper, I will try to present the method of recruitment of the terrorists and the consequences that the displaced families carried out during the years 1948-1952 in the border area of Albania - Kosovo, respectively in Has area.
