In a post on social networks, Rama says that in Afghanistan, Albania has been part of NATO and is the responsibility of all to resolve the situation that has been created there.

Furthermore, the head of the Albanian government says he has agreed to take migrants to the country because of the history of our nation.

Finally, he has called on all to save the lives of women in Afghanistan.

It's very disturbing to read that Albania is sheltering Afghans just because the United States asked us, because it's ridiculous to turn your back on them and blame them alone. USA. We were all there like NATO and these people were there for us, because we believed in the ideals that the US and EU stand for.

Albania is making it out of its responsibility as a country NATO and because of what we are. We may not be rich, but we owe it to our Afghan friends in need, and we owe our tradition, our immediate past as refugees, and also to memory that our children will inherit.

Leaving these fundamental values is a shame from the best of ourselves, our history and the ideals that the democratic world is supposed to promote not only in words but also in deeds. Save Afghan lives. Save Afghan women”, Rama wrote.
