Albania's Blood-Feud Children Living With Death Sentences 

Amen

True he is a very good person.

@@andreasvandersal9837 what does that mean?

TRAP KILLA ...I agree with you!I date a person from there for many year's and he was very old fashion that I broke up with him...I feel so bad for those people.I really hope someday all this would be over.

TRAP KILLA the problem my friend is that the majority of the Albanians are extremely attached to the old traditions and have this stupid pride over their flag and their land as if this land has ever offered them anything apart from poverty and immigration....i really don't get this mentality.I mean it is normal to love your homeland but the most albanians i know do this in a fanatic and nationalistic way,hating their neighbours

Never speak on what you do not neither understand nor comprehend. It is cruel but just like anything in the world all parties must agree on change.

TRAP KILLA ashtu ua qifsha Kanunin un ketynve Veq ne shqiperi nodh kjo

@@MrAbagaz ??? Albanians hate no one exept russia, serbia and greece AND with good reasons on why to hate them. And also, Albania is one of the most resource rich countries in europe per capita, Albania is VERY rich in resources as i said. Its just that money hungry idiots lead the country.

Very sad 😔

This true? 🤔

Source please.

Fake

our modern justice systems do not provide for forgiveness. To some extent, the Iranian system for example provides for mercy, because the family of a murder victim can grant mercy to the offender if they like to do so.

T Bone This is completely different because the guilty doesn't always pay,but his relatives that are innocent....they cant live a normal life just because a random guy that happens to have some blood connection with them, committed a crime without anyone's permission.....this kind of ''traditions'' have no reason to be present in our modern world

@@MrAbagaz The kanun was written in the 1400’s when life, culture and society was tribal.

@@Helmuesi911 kanun was writen since 1400s but its practised since ancient timed

Yeah but the kid is innocent lol

@123 45 read a book

venteta right? i live in greece and these situations are pretty similar

@@riverdale.x.fan4ever91 Many cultures near each other have similar traditions.

Because Crete was ILLYRIAN Albanian Land with DNA 100% they are blood Albanian

Very few follow these rules, only a few rural people follow this rule

1 Peter 3:9 : King James Version (KJV) Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 1 Thessalonians 5:15 King James Version (KJV) See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Matthew 5:38-39 King James Version (KJV) Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. Ephesians 4:31-32 King James Version (KJV) Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Romans 12:19 King James Version (KJV) Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Proverbs 20:22 King James Version (KJV) Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee. Deuteronomy 32:35 King James Version (KJV) To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

This does not work with the Kanun. because it is a PAGAN law. The north of Albania was never truly converted. The Kanun will exist as long as the Illyrian DNA will persist@@mariapapa4122

They live far away from the city town They live in a village up on mounts

Native Bakan traditions

These people live in the poorest most isolated parts of Albania which still follow these silly trafistions

😲 i am shocked! Heartbreaking!

Yes definitely..

Or the relatives can just leave them alone. If the killer is sent to prison, then that's the end of the story.

Yeah but it ain’t right

Because when this was written the social structure was tribal. What’s most ridiculous is that some of these people are picking up old feuds from the pre-communist era ... these are old men looking to settle scores from two or three generations ago for a grandfather that was killed.

You can say that again that 2 wrongs don't make a right but this time say it to the youth in Chicago, Detroit and New York where retaliation makes up for 50% of crimes. You're welcome closed minded person.

WTF you talking about .

***** genti is tis true?

***** Claudius Ptolemy, the ancient Greek geographer: "Eastern of Epidamnus, there lies a city named Albanopolis. This city is inhabited by an Illyrian tribe called Albani. Local people refer to this area and areas around as Arberi." (13,23) Polybius from Megalopolis, the ancient Greek historian in his work mentions a city named Arbon: "The people who lived there were called Arbanios and Arbanitai." Stephanus of Byzantium a geographical dictionary in his work "Ethnika" mentions a population called Abroi from Adria Taulantii and an Illyrian city named Arbon. The people of that region were known as Arbonios and Arbonites. The name 'Arber' is still used today and it is a very respected patriotic name for Albanians, it was the name we used before Georg Kastriot founded Shqiptar(Eagles) movement. It would also be interesting to see what the most valid encyclopedia "Papyrus Larus Britannica" has to say about this issue: "In 395 AD the empire was finally divided, and Illyria east of the Drinus River became part of the Eastern Empire. Between the 3rd and the 5th century it was devestated by the Goths and Huns who left no lasting mark on Illyria. But the Slavs, who started their incursions into the Balkan Peninsula in the 6th century, had by the end of 7th century transformed the ethnic structure of all the Illyrian-speaking territories. Croatia, Serbia, Dalmatia, Bosnia, Montenegro and parts of Macedonia lost their Illyrian language and were thoroughly Slavonized, so that only Albanians remain as direct descendants of the ancient Illyrians." Papyrus Larus Britannica.

***** Dude, we Albanians never use the name Albanian, this is only applied to us by others. And about the Plisos, the white round hat, this hat was used by the Spartans, but we Albanians never knew this until this days, and my grandfather isn't educated about the Spartans. We use Shqiptar, Arberore, Arberesh as name. We never use Albanian. But the Romans use this name for us and it applies to the white mountais in Albania. Also the Scottish called themselves Albania, does that mean we are now Scottish and Azerbajanis, what more? And it doesn't matter, if you got little bit logic in your head you should understand that WE don't use Albanian as name, if the paradox didn't exist this name would neither exist to us. Albanian is applied in latin for the people who live around this area of the white muntains. And Albania in Azerbajan was Roman name for the area because it probably had white mountains in the area. You serbs have come here and taken our land, you came from Russia, you was called slaves. And your language is known to be Indo-Iranian language. Albanian is indo-European language, this is what I learned in school where I live in Norway. And the Black eagle flag was used by Georg Kastriot to fight the occupation of Ottoman empire. Its was Georg Kastriot who started Shqiptar, Shqiptar was a political movement amongst the Albanians to resist the occupation of the Ottoman. And it means the eagles. And this flag Georg Kastriot took from Byzantine, the black 2 headed eagle was used as a war flag by the Byzantines. And Albania was in Byzantine empire almost always. And you lie about that the tribes of Azerbaijanis used black eagle in their flag, they used white eagle. And you totally ignored the ancient writings that I showed you. Here take a look again. This is written in ancient time before there existed any slavs in Balkan. Claudius Ptolemy, the ancient Greek geographer: "Eastern of Epidamnus, there lies a city named Albanopolis. This city is inhabited by an Illyrian tribe called Albani. Local people refer to this area and areas around as Arberi." (13,23) Polybius from Megalopolis, the ancient Greek historian in his work mentions a city named Arbon: "The people who lived there were called Arbanios and Arbanitai." Stephanus of Byzantium a geographical dictionary in his work "Ethnika" mentions a population called Abroi from Adria Taulantii and an Illyrian city named Arbon. The people of that region were known as Arbonios and Arbonites. The name 'Arber' is still used today and it is a very respected patriotic name for Albanians. And it was the name we used before Scanderbeg founded Shqiptar(Eagles) movement. Is it English that you don't understand? Even in these ancient texts it explains to you that the local people don't use the name Albani but Arberi. Handicapped aren't you?

***** But you in your Slavic language don't refer to yourself using the name Slav, but this name Slav is used by foreigners and you have got your own name referring to yourselves. That's why you cannot make a latin word that means slave and translate it into your own language, when these latins who referred to the slavs in their own language didn't even know slavic. There is no link. And bringing up this shows how limited your brain is to think. Yes Alba means white in latin, and it is latins who refer to us as Albanians. We referred to ourself as Arber, and later when Ottomans came, Georg Kastriot started a military-politic movement called "The Eagles"- "Shqipet" and when you refere to each individual you say this "Shqiptar" did ....... "Shqiponje" is referred to the "Eagle". When Georg Kastriot came, many Arbers joined his anti-ottoman movement and after his success to win every battle against this ottoman superpower while the serbs lost every battle, it was very honorable to regard yourself as "Shqipe". So do you now understand with your incapable brain that Shqiptar is a new name for Albanians which started in 15th century. And the name Arber is holy for Albanians, it unites all the Albanians, in Italy there are communities there who don't regards themselves as Shqiptar, but only as Arbereshe, and in Greece the Arvanites who was the reason for Greece's independence they call themselves Arberore, and they talk same as Albanians. And Greeks claim these are the ancient Greeks and have no link to Albanians. These Arvanites are Orthodox. What do you mean that I say all ancient texts spoke about us? I only showed you a few referring to the Albanoi in the location of Albania, and it even goes as far to say local people refer to themselves as Arber. If this is not us, then who is it then?

Technically yes but what is your point we always lived in Kosovo and wanted independence from Serbia

it's not just because they can . if you kill an important person to someone , he will return you back . Blood by blood . But women and children are not allowed to harm them in KANUN .

The albanian majority has moved on and MANY albanians hate the Kanun (Blood code) its just that old bastards that live in villages up on the mountains still keep it alive.

Po vlla. Edhe sic mund ta shikosh se cfar veprimesh sjell ky liber njerzor me gabime. Ligjet e Allahut jane te drejta dhe e zgjidhin problemin e gjakmarrjes. Edhe leje iher qe shqipja sesht gjuha ne e vjeter or burr ca flet. Ne edhe alfabetin se kemi tonin perdorim alfabet latin.

That statement couldn't be further from the truth.

Macedonian orthodox don't have that rule only Albanian Muslims do

@@MrMSalexanderMK is not Albanian Muslim law and is not used only by Albanian Muslims also Catholic and Orthodox Albanians used

How ?

if you wanted to escape from albania in hoxha's time you could if they didnt catch you and kill you at the border but you family will be removed from their village and dishonored and will suffer all their live because of your escape so that was hoxha's mentality so don't think communsim is an answer my friend

+Lindy Loo Hi, I'm looking for more information about the Kanun and its present use in Albany. Would you like to give me some information about it?

J i think you can find the book online maybe even in English. “Kanuni i Lek Dukagjinit”

elise i can tell you all the information i will recomend you to read a very good book written on the subject by the giant of albanian literature, ismail Kadare. Read the book "the file on H" you will know everything you need....

Elise VD i can tell u some quick info BASE ones If someone kill a memeber of ur Family u have ur right to kill back its like BLOOD 4 BLOOD but if they did a mistake and they dont want to be killed they have their right to stay home otherwise if they get outside they might get killed with less words u cant go to their house and kill also is a rule u cant touch girls. Girls are free to go work shoping etc only boys have to stay home if they want to be alive Kanun says Give respect to get it back EDIT: When i said u have ur right to kill back that doesnt mean u cant go to jail i mean KANUN gives ur right to kill back in honor to get the blood back but ofc u will go to jail for what u done

Turkey has only like 2% of area in Europe.
