Periskopi(5 years ago)
(5 years ago)The memories took her 22 years back to Makoc, under the nylon where she was feeding her two little daughters, and the third was holding her on her lap, not knowing where they were going and saw for sure how long they would be alive. She's the leading protagonist in the shot. [...]
It is the main protagonist in the photo shot taken by photoporter Ridvan Sliva, on April 19, 1999, which for 22 years took place in many catalog exhibitions and catalogs, traveled to many parts of the world.
Remzie Seta saw this picture a few weeks ago.
She had no idea of ever finding herself in one of hundreds of thousands of photos documenting the horrors of the recent war in Kosovo.
When I saw the picture, I was happy, but a little excited. I mostly felt the tits I gave them. This bone chest, along with my husband and other older children, was leading the way I'm looking, because there are after those who didn't come after you and gave you kids”, she says.
The road they made in villages in Podujevo and Pristina was very difficult.
We've been in Rakinica for weeks, where they've been on infantry and from there to Muhazob we've been sent, we're in the column, we've been in the rain one night, with the seven little kids and the man. On our way one day, we've stopped at a house with bread cooked, so don't leave my children unscathed, and we have a night out there”, she relates.
Their trip from the village of Lisnaje (former-Muhazob) of the Podujevo municipality continued to Makoc, Pristina, where photography was also taken.
We've been at Makoc one night, and we've been back in Podujevo, in Shajkoc, and then at Ballofc, there's nights, because I've got my family from there”, she says.
Mother Remzie and her seven children slept in the rain and the cold for several days.
Fortunately, though, the whole family survived safely. Her seven children, who experienced the saddest period in Kosovo's history, the 1999 war, are already adults and have created their families, writes the telegraph.
Seven years old have this little girl that I'm given you bread, and the other five years old. I got the other three. Other older children would walk far more than the tractor. We're two families there. Now 30 years old is this chica, she's made two schools, and this one's done college. The oldest child is 34 years old, is out in Germany. Then two twins, the 31-year-old son, and he's outside”, show Mother Remzie about the life of her children 22 years after the war in Kosovo.
