I kujtoj mir\u00eb vitet e \u201980-ta, koh\u00eb t\u00eb v\u00ebshtira p\u00ebr Kosov\u00ebn dhe p\u00ebr ne shqiptar\u00ebt jasht\u00eb atdheut. Deri n\u00eb vitin 1987, bota d\u00ebgjonte p\u00ebr Kosov\u00ebn vet\u00ebm p\u00ebrmes agjencis\u00eb jugosllave Tanjug. Gazetat amerikane m\u00eb t\u00eb m\u00ebdha, si Chicago Tribune, New York Times apo Los Angeles Times, thjesht ribotonin lajmet e tyre.<\/p>\n
\u00c7do demonstrat\u00eb paq\u00ebsore, \u00e7do reagim i rinis\u00eb son\u00eb, \u00e7do incident me policin\u00eb p\u00ebrshkruhej si terroriz\u00ebm, armiq\u00ebsi apo veprim anti-jugosllav. Ishte e dhimbshme t\u00eb shihje se si kauza jon\u00eb e drejt\u00eb p\u00ebr liri paraqitej para bot\u00ebs si nj\u00eb k\u00ebrc\u00ebnim.<\/p>\n
N\u00eb ato vite ne, ( kah viti 1978\/79) komuniteti shqiptar i \u00c7ikagos, nuk rrim\u00eb duarkryq. Me v\u00ebllez\u00ebrit, kush\u00ebrinj dhe shok\u00eb t\u00eb ngusht\u00eb nga K\u00ebr\u00e7ova si Qamil Sadiku, Xhesko Sadiku, Ilmi Veliu, Destan Aliu, Nazim Alimi etj. themeluam Shoqat\u00ebn e Rinis\u00eb Kosovare, e shum\u00eb t\u00eb tjer\u00eb ishin bashk\u00ebluft\u00ebtar\u00eb t\u00eb p\u00ebrditsh\u00ebm n\u00eb kauz\u00ebn ton\u00eb. Organizimi yn\u00eb p\u00ebrve\u00e7 atyre kulturore dhe artistike,solli demonstrata t\u00eb nj\u00ebpasnj\u00ebshme para Ambasad\u00ebs Jugosllave n\u00eb \u00c7ikago.
\nMe ardhjen e Milloshevi\u00e7it n\u00eb pushtet, dhuna kund\u00ebr popullit shqiptar n\u00eb Kosov\u00eb u rrit. Ne ndjenim se z\u00ebri i yn\u00eb duhej t\u00eb d\u00ebgjohej m\u00eb fuqish\u00ebm. Por sa her\u00eb hapnim gazetat amerikane, gjenim t\u00eb nj\u00ebjt\u00ebn gjuh\u00eb t\u00eb ftoht\u00eb, t\u00eb kopjuar nga propaganda e Tanjugut.<\/p>\n
Nj\u00eb rast i ve\u00e7ant\u00eb ndryshoi shum\u00eb gj\u00ebra. N\u00eb kish\u00ebn ortodokse t\u00eb \u00c7ikagos njoha nj\u00eb djal\u00eb shqiptar q\u00eb punonte n\u00eb sektorin teknik t\u00eb Chicago Tribune. E luta t\u00eb na ndihmonte p\u00ebr nj\u00eb takim me kryeredaktorin Bill Rice. Ai e pranoi menj\u00ebher\u00eb dhe pas pak dit\u00ebsh m\u00eb konfirmoi: takimi ishte caktuar.<\/p>\n
Ironia e fatit b\u00ebri q\u00eb dita e takimit t\u00eb p\u00ebrkonte me nj\u00eb nga demonstratat tona t\u00eb m\u00ebdha para ambasad\u00ebs. Ishim mbi 2,000 vet\u00eb, t\u00eb mbledhur n\u00eb rrug\u00ebn Michigan, duke protestuar me flamuj e pankarta. N\u00eb mesin ton\u00eb ishte edhe profesor Sulejman Elezi, sapo kishte marr\u00eb azil politik n\u00eb SHBA. Ajo dit\u00eb mbeti e paharrueshme \u2013 bllokuam rrug\u00ebn, ngrit\u00ebm z\u00ebrin dhe ndjem\u00eb se di\u00e7ka po ndryshonte.
\nPas demonstrat\u00ebs, s\u00eb bashku me Xhesko Sadikun, shkuam n\u00eb nd\u00ebrtes\u00ebn e Chicago Tribune. N\u00eb holl, m\u00eb ra n\u00eb sy nj\u00eb shkrim i madh n\u00eb mur:
\n\u201cWe print only the truth, nothing more than the truth.\u201d ( Na shtypim vetem te verteten, kurgja tjeter ve\u00e7 t\u00eb v\u00ebrtet\u00ebs\u201d)
\nM\u00eb dukej sikur fjal\u00ebt m\u00eb flisnin drejtp\u00ebrdrejt.<\/p>\n
Kryeredaktori Rice na priti me buz\u00ebqeshje. I treguam historin\u00eb ton\u00eb, jo vet\u00ebm me fakte, por edhe me dhimbjen q\u00eb kishim n\u00eb zem\u00ebr: kolonializimin e Kosov\u00ebs q\u00eb nga viti 1912, spastrimet etnike, masakrat, burgosjet e student\u00ebve, rritjen e t\u00eb burgosurve politik pas vitit \u201981, e deri tek dhuna e p\u00ebrditshme q\u00eb p\u00ebrjetonte populli yn\u00eb. I k\u00ebrkuam q\u00eb t\u00eb mos i besonte m\u00eb verb\u00ebrisht Tanjugut, por t\u00eb d\u00ebrgonte nj\u00eb gazetar t\u00eb tij n\u00eb Kosov\u00eb. Madje i ofruam edhe t\u00eb mbulonim shpenzimet.
\nAi na d\u00ebgjoi me v\u00ebmendje. Na k\u00ebrkoi falje p\u00ebr lajmet e pabazuara dhe premtoi se brenda nj\u00eb jave do t\u00eb d\u00ebrgonte gazetarin m\u00eb t\u00eb mir\u00eb p\u00ebr Europ\u00ebn. U larguam prej tij me shpres\u00eb t\u00eb madhe.<\/p>\n
Pas dhjet\u00eb dit\u00ebsh ndodhi tragjedia n\u00eb Fush\u00eb Kosov\u00eb: policia serbe hapi zjarr ndaj demonstruesve, duke l\u00ebn\u00eb t\u00eb vrar\u00eb dhe t\u00eb plagosur. T\u00eb nes\u00ebrmen n\u00eb m\u00ebngjes, Rice m\u00eb telefonoi vet\u00eb. \u201cShiko gazet\u00ebn sot,\u201d m\u00eb tha.
\nKur mora gazet\u00ebn, n\u00eb faqen e par\u00eb ishte fotografia q\u00eb m\u00eb mbeti n\u00eb mendje p\u00ebrjet\u00eb: civil\u00eb shqiptar\u00eb t\u00eb gjakosur, polic\u00eb serb\u00eb me arm\u00eb n\u00eb dor\u00eb n\u00eb sfond, dhe titulli:
\n\u201cPolicia ushtron dhun\u00eb dhe terror mbi demonstruesit paq\u00ebsor shqiptar\u00eb.\u201d
\nAt\u00eb \u00e7ast thash\u00eb me vete: \u201cU thye akulli, m\u00eb n\u00eb fund!\u201d<\/p>\n
Pas k\u00ebtij shkrimi, e gjith\u00eb bota filloi t\u00eb shihte ndryshe. New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times dhe shum\u00eb t\u00eb tjera d\u00ebrguan korrespondent\u00ebt e tyre n\u00eb Kosov\u00eb. Nga ai moment, raportimi p\u00ebr ngjarjet nuk ishte m\u00eb nj\u00ebansh\u00ebm.<\/p>\n
Un\u00eb, si student i mediave vizuale dhe regjisor i ri, e kuptova m\u00eb shum\u00eb se kurr\u00eb fuqin\u00eb e informacionit dhe r\u00ebnd\u00ebsin\u00eb e sensibilizimit. Sa her\u00eb lexoja lajme t\u00eb shtremb\u00ebruara, reagoja me shkrim. Nuk isha vet\u00ebm \u2013 shum\u00eb intelektual\u00eb shqiptar\u00eb n\u00eb Amerik\u00eb b\u00ebn\u00eb t\u00eb nj\u00ebjt\u00ebn gj\u00eb. M\u00eb pas, me krijimin e LQSHA-s\u00eb, aktivitetet tona mor\u00ebn nj\u00eb karakter profesional. N\u00ebn udh\u00ebheqjen e Joe DioGuardit, lobimi yn\u00eb n\u00eb Washington u b\u00eb nj\u00eb nd\u00ebr m\u00eb t\u00eb fuqishmit, menj\u00ebher\u00eb pas lobit izraelit.
\nK\u00ebto kujtime jan\u00eb d\u00ebshmi e nj\u00eb kohe kur fjala dhe e v\u00ebrteta ishin arma jon\u00eb m\u00eb e fort\u00eb. Ishim pak, por t\u00eb vendosur. Dhe p\u00ebrmes p\u00ebrpjekjes son\u00eb t\u00eb pandalshme, bota filloi ta d\u00ebgjoj\u00eb z\u00ebrin e Kosov\u00ebs.
