It was hard winter...” The Fall of Muje Krasniqi and 41 KLA fighters

Muje Krasniqi was among the first triggers of the KLA's armed war in Kosovo, as well as one of the first few KLA fighters.

Muje Krasniqi was born on June 6, 1967, in the village of Cline's Cabiq. He's been doing it at Kline Falls.

The leader of the parents' family Muja and Shehuide Krasniqi gave birth to 11 children, among them six sons, four of whom were KLA soldiers, and two of them, Muja and Aliu, were martyred.

“Muja, along with Beqen (Becir Gashi, rapod and Witness) were locked early in the illegal movement, when he was high school student “Luigj Gurakuqi” of Kline, in the parallels divided in Kijevo. There, near Professor Dzeve Krasniqi é Laldrocin (the legendary martyr) who led and inspired them for domestic actions”, remembers Brahim Gashi, friend of the Muja, rapsod and teacher of music and brother to Becir Gashi.

Since those years, in association with the Rapods from Moleqan, Muja loved the song. When they organized the national illegal cell, it was 1984, when Muja was 17 years old, to be active in this movement until its decline.

In the opening movements of Albanian protests that broke out during the years of the years of KE80, Beqa Mija had weighed heavily on the revolted spirits of parents, students and educators, singing Albanian songs for Albanian figures that were attacking Serb and their Albanian - speaking Thracians.

When Beqa sang about Luigj Gurakucin, whose image was being attacked by Albanian - speaking people suffering from Serbians, police and power circles are also alarmed.

These two, since then, had joined the song, organising Albanian resistance, and later, the rifle.

So when the 1989 demonstrations took place, he and Sylejman Selimi, with weapons, had been ambushed by Serb forces in defense of demonstrators, when demonstrators from the villages of Vilmir and Chubiqi were injured.

From 1990 onward, it has always been a target of the persecution of the Serb militia.

They did not stop arresting, mistreating, or persecuting other members of this family over a decade.

But Muja saw in those years and often said that Kosovo is released only with the rifle's throat, without denying others the domestic contribution to other leaves.

The siege war had occurred in Prekaz in 1991. His uncle, warrior Vesel Selimi, was wounded in that war. Therefore, with other relatives Selimi of this village, later known figures across Kosovo, Sylejman and Rexhep Selimi, organise the Acareva defence (according to the magazine “National Interest” December 24, 2001, Pristina). Muja, for a decade in a row, has taken action after acting on armed homeland illegal. It was among the main carriers of the KLA's war and establishment. From the first shares, it was alongside Yashaw and the Achareva warriors.

From 1993 until 1996 he worked and acted in deep illegality because he was persecuted by the Serbian regime, he was forced to flee. In 1993 he had performed his first action to carry on many more.

Why he worked and acted on the difficult condition, he did not leave Kosovo, but stood by continuing the fight with the highest intensity. In October 1996, it is housed in Prekaz, the Shaban Jashar family of Hammez Yashar. Then in the Haradinaj families in Gllojan, Brahimaj in Jablanica, etc.

The beating with fellow fighters per day expanded the KLA with young fighters. When war broke out in Kosovo, he was in first position in the village of Luludovic.

The KLA strikes the Serb forces, where the enemy suffered defeat. That's why Serbs hunt and in school or home objects, when in revenge, Professor Halil Geci is killed.

At this teacher's funeral, Muja was one of the three soldiers who made the KLA's public appearance in Lausha along with Daut Haradinaj and Rexhep Selimin.

Daut Haradinaj said: “I and Muj Krasniqi brought forward the move without a mask, while Rexhepi turned to the mask move, on behalf of the KLA, making known the domestic and international opinion that the KLA is the one struggling for the protection of Albanian people's rights and for the liberation of Kosovo from the Serb conqueror.

It was the 43rd anniversary of the birth of the legendary commander, Adem Jashar, when the KLA from illegal action passed into legal action.

It was the time of great oaths before the flag; the time that would come with the martyrdom of women, elders, children and others to the definition of Kosovo; when this newest and most successful army in the Balkans was making historic turns.

He already shattered the confusion and rumors about the existence or not the existence of the KLA, of other denigrative slogans.

But that Muja herself had cooperated with all of the Albanian rebels; being close and honest with all fellow fighters, with the people who supported her. He was known as a strategist, brave, cold-blooded combat action.

How many times he had gone to the front of these groups to provide for him? KLA with guns, facing long foot paths, bad weather, enemy ambushes, hard terrain.

Meanwhile, on March 5, 1998, Muje Krasniqi fought in Buroja and Vojnik, when the war was already taking on widespread proportions. Everywhere he stood out with courage, courage, and martial ability.

In April 1998, during the commission given by General Staff KLA, the muja is seriously injured now for the second time, after the first time she was injured in fighting on the Plains of Lulula. Yet, he defeats his wounds. By this time the military hospital was located in Licocz. Medical doctor Fadil Beka worked hard to improve the condition of Muja until surgery.

The Serbian military-police machine had well known the village of Cabiq, because there were the roots of armed resistance where Commander Muje Krasniqi, his brother Aliu, was born.

And this village's freedom fighters had been trained and encouraged by the great strategist Bekim Berisha, also known as Abeya. Thus, the Serbian machine found it difficult to penetrate and conquer this village. Great battles began in these parts since the spring of 1998.

Thus, it was the battle of KLA forces in Rigeva, in Stapanica, in the areas of the village of Chabiq, in Central (formerly Glareva); a front line headed towards Kijeva, which was then considered the most dangerous and hot spot in Europe. During two years of war from this village, 24 people were martyred - elders, women, babies, civilians - only because they were nearby The KLA, with which they shared the pain, torment, joys of victory and the fate of Kosovo.

New battles were needed.

When they set out for the 141 military border to send weapons to Kosovo on December 13, 1998, in Cahan, Hasi, Muje Krasniqi encourages fighters; neither do the wounded part. Because that was what Commander Muja himself had done, with wounds on his body, who had refused to stay longer for healing and who refused to stay away from the war and the warriors, away from the organized military force.

It was a tough winter. Shkelzen's ribs were covered with snow. The dark night was, the clock was about two after midnight, at dawn on December 14; when observers fell into ambush.

War was uneven. I fought in this battle, in the thickness of the snow, with fellow fighters, were also destroying the interAlbanian border, in the Black Lugun at Lake of Ahish. The Serbian myth of the siege of the iron border of that wall of Albanian tragedies was about to collapse. The Serbian propaganda tried to cover up the event, but a fierce battle took place there, where Commander Muje Krasniqi, with Bequn and others, sometimes broke the Serbian iron siege. In an effort to attract friends from that siege of fire, they also fall.

After the fall of Muje Krasniqi, the 113 Brigade received the name of Commander Muje Krasniqi, who gave the nation another 166 martyrs during the war. /kp
