English
The middle of 20th century would find Albanians divided in 5 countries. Some authors argue that genocide was exercised against them from their neighbors (Greece, Serbia). Albanians had helped during the Greek revolution for Independence, they were often “taken” for Turks. There were also Albanians that really became Turks as far a leading Turkey. There were Albanians that led Egypt and even formed the first dynasty of kingship there. Albanian had also their hero in the middle ages, the very well known Scanderbeg. Nevertheless Albanians do not pay pilgrimage to him. Today in Albania one hardly knows when this national hero’s anniversary of death or birth is. Although the communist regime of Enver Hoxha did not “mistreat “ Scanderbeg in the Albanian history pages as happened with most of its past national figures, it is true that the Albanian Partizans did (in these pages of basic history education) were ahead Scanderbeg. The communist regime ignored certain aspects of the past including any talk of outside territories. Nowadays it seems another layer is deletting history pages

Mesi I shekullit te 20 i gjeti Shqiptaret te ndare ne 5 shtete. Shume autore argumentojne se gjenocid ishte urshtruar ndaj tyre nga fqinjet (Greqi, Serbi) . Shqiptaret kishin ndihmuar gjate revolucionit Grek per pavaresi, ata ishin “marre” shpesh si Turq . Kishte gjithashtu shqiptare qe kishin udhehequr Egjiptin duke bere gjithashtu te paren dinasti atje. Shqiptaret kishin gjithashtu heroin e tyre ne kohet e Mesjetes te shume njohurin Skenderbe. Por Shqiptaret nuk i bejne pelegrinazh atij (siç i bene Serbet Princit Lazar).Sot ne Shqiperi eshte e veshtire te thuhet se nje shqiptar e din mire pervjetorin e lindjes apo te vdekjes se tij.Megjithese regjimi komunist I Enver Hoxhes nuk e “keqtrajtoi” Skenderbeun ashtu siç beri me shume figura te tjera kombetare, eshte e vertete se partizanet shqiptare (ne ato faqet e historise baze te edukimit) kishin perparesi ndaj tij. Regjimi komunist injoroi shume aspekte te se kaluares perfshire ketu dhe temat qe kishin lidhje me territoret jashte saj.
Tashme duket se nje tjeter mbulese po fshin faqe te tjera te historise, por duke e bere kete ne po fshijme identitetin tone.

  2. Jo miku im nese lexon shkrimin te cilit i referohem nuk eshte nacionalizem. Besoj se nga te mohuarit e vetvetes deri tek nacionalizmi ka disa grade per te kaluar. Un ndodhem ne mes te ketij grafiku.Un besoj tek vlerat dhe tek historia e te gjithe popujve. Besoj se ti me njeh pak per te konfirmuar kete fakt .

    Te pershendes :)
