Forging Kosovo Albanian photo, Sheriff Luta Qaeda Russian propaganda presents it as Serb victim

It was one of the refugees who were persecuted by Serb forces during the recent war in Kosovo. Its image was even chosen among the best photographs of the century as evidence of time. But its image was misused by the Russian Embassy in South Africa, changing their nationality into an effort to [...]

The photograph, which for Mother Sheriff Luta, is evidence of the suffering she has experienced, manipulated and used in the propaganda tweet of the Russian Embassy, on the anniversary of the NATO bombing. While Kosovo institutions have not reacted to this.

A Cheap Fake like this hurt Sheriff Luta, as he says photo of photoreporter Damir Sagolaj reminds him of the painful history of the people of Kosovo and the experiences of the day. Until you appeal to the government to fight disinformation.

I've seen that they took this photo as false news. The picture is seen for its own good. The photograph cannot be forged. This picture cannot be fake because the Russian population did everything they did during the war of 99, and now they can do it. I've seen the picture they've shot him, this picture as if I'm not Albanian, but it's Serbian. This picture has touched my heart because this picture is true, since it's made me lie. But they can't lie when that's true”, she says.

The prayer, which had stayed as a refugee for three months in Macedonia, well remembers the day when Sagoj had taken the picture.

This photo reminds me of the suffering of Albanians during 99, what Albanian people have removed from Serb forces. I remember the day the picture was declared, when we left the war by the Serbian forces, when we took the journey of thousands of refugees, with the girl in her arms, walking tired with the girl in her arms, without eating and drinking, in Blace this photograph, the Bosnian cameraman took this picture. Where she saw it most dangerous, she went and photographed”, she relates.

She says Kosovo must be mobilized in order to stop such tendencies as Russia.

They're trying to get rid of this picture, but reality can only be seen, nobody can wipe this out. The Government must take action, with the response of Russia, because this picture is not fake, it shows what the Albanian people have. It is not just I who have fled, but all the Albanian people have fled for this country. Today, I should be glad we're free”, she says.

The important thing for him is the photograph, the Sheriff's Mother Luta says that she best testifies with the words of her daughter who was once holding it in her hands.

She's very proud. When you see this picture, it says: Mom, you're a symbol of history, she says.

Dren Grguri, professor of communications sciences at the UP, says Kosovo should be careful because this Cheap Face is dangerous because they deviate reality and push people to believe in something that is not true.

The case of the manipulated picture of an Albanian mother who, in that case, the manipulated photograph is presented by another nationality, is a very good example showing that, unfortunately, manipulations can also be used for propaganda. The case of photography shows how such manipulation can be used for propaganding purposes, and even the internet already allows it to easily spread everywhere. When such a manipulated photograph is distributed in South Africa, it means that it is being distributed to a suitable ground for propaganda to be effective, because we can assume freely that in that part of the world there can be little information about Kosovo's war, therefore propaganda there can be much more effective than in one European country, where only they know what happened at the end of 90s in Kosovo<1>, he says.
