(3 years ago)Albania has been completely linked to a new list of expanded individuals and organisations allegedly performing terrorist acts in the world. Thus, the country beyond the distribution of a visible Western political line is taking specific measures against groups. The updated list of 13 individuals and 21 groups and active entities [...]
The updated list of 13 individuals and 21 groups and entities with alleged terrorist activities was approved by the European Union on July 21st, 2023, and is based on evidence that has been presented for the activities of these people and groups.
On the first list of 13 people, it is evident that most exhibitants are from the Middle East, including countries such as Iran, Lebanon, or even Saudi Arabia.
There are currently no citizens who are equipped with American passports, or large European countries, to Australian ones.
As for the groups, we also deal most with brigades that operate according to ethnic and religious affiliations, including the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Kurdistan Labour Party (generally known as the PKK), or Hamas-Iz al-Din al-Qassem, part of the major terrorist grouping, Hamas.
Meanwhile, on the list of 21 organisations, there are those with political intentions, such as the Communist Party of the Philippines, or the Iranian Ministry for Intelligence and Security Directorate itself, the AP writes.
Beyond Albania, alignment with the EU's last list has joined other countries in the region, such as Northern Macedonia, Montenegro, or Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Meanwhile, steps to join the initiative have also taken Ukraine and Moldova, as well as Liechtenstein.
Albania has been lined up in this respect with all of the European Union's decisions on such expeditions, where, recently, with the outbreak of war in Ukraine, there has been a series of decisions by the union in terms of sanctions against Russian citizens associated with the Vladimir Putin regime, for which Albania has also imposed sanctions, a carbon line of the EU to condemn supporters of war.
