Armenian forces have repulsed numerous attacks by the Azerbaijani side on the city of Shusha in the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region, the Armenian side reported on November 7 morning.
“Stubborn and intense battles took place at night on the Shushi-Karintak sector. The army units of Karabakh successfully stopped numerous attacks of the enemy, who suffered heavy losses in manpower,” the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Defense Ministry said.
Nonetheless, these attacks did not put an end to Azerbaijani-Turkish attempts to capture the town. They once again tried to enter Shusha in the second half of the day, and according to Armenian and Azerbaijani sources, at least one Azerbaijani unit reached the town engaging the Armenians there in an intense fighting. However, this attack was also reportedly repelled. After this, the Armenian military reported about ‘successes’ south of Shusha. The town, according to Armenia, remains in the hands of its forces, but Azerbaijan carried out intense strikes on it. Journalists are not allowed to operate there.
At the same time, Yerevan admits that the situation in the area of Martuni remains very complicated.
Azerbaijan shows another video from the captured areas (Hacılı village, Jabrayil district):

The Armenian Defense Ministry also claimed that Azerbaijan has suffered 105 casualties and lost 5 UAVs and 13 armoured vehicles since yesterday.

Since the last update the new losses of #Azerbaijan are: 5 UAVs, 13 armored vehicles, 105 casualties По последним данным о потерях противника были поражены еще 5 БПЛА, 13 единиц бронетехники, есть 105 погибших. pic.twitter.com/qLh27eo976 — Armenian Unified Infocenter (@ArmenianUnified) November 7, 2020
Infographic pieces below show how Armenian claims about the Azerbaijani losses have evolved since the start of the war:
Even if Armenian forces have repelled the current Azerbaijani attack on Shusha, the crisis in the area is not resolved. The Azerbaijani-Turkish bloc has fire control of a large part of the Lachin- husha highway. It is not entirely clear what parts of the highway Azerbaijani forces control directly, it is apparent that it cannot be used as a permanent supply line for Armenian troops in Shusha.
At the same time the deterioration weather conditions undermined the scale of air support that Azerbaijani troops receive. Also, Baku experiences serious difficulties with deploying heavy military equipment in the area due to the terrain and their lack of control of proper roads there. These factors create conditions for counter-attacks by dedicated and motivated Armenian units armed with mortars and ATGMs and supported by artillery.

Victory Of Elites And Loss Of People: ‘Global Leaders’ And MSM Celebrate Alleged Biden Victory. Trump Declares Resistance

As the US President Election 2020 is yet to be officially declared finished ( there are still votes to count and the Trump team is going to challenge results in many areas in courts ) , mainstream media and leaders of NATO and some European states already congratulated Joe Biden with the victory .
The congratulations were provided by the leaders of Canada , France , Israel , Venezuela , the United Kingdom , Belgum and others .
Such great persons like Ukrainian President-Comedian Volodymyr Zelensky and leaders of the Belarusian and Turkish opposition did it among the first .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the fight on corruption is especially funny amid the numerous corruption scandals involving the Biden familiy and the post-2014 coup political regime in Kiev .
The media-reported situation in the election : The Canadian Prime Minister that had particular problems ( as well as other pro-globalist leaders that suffered from the Trump national-oriented policy ) with Donald Trump rushed to declare his support to Biden : The top German officials also supported Biden and complained that Trump ’ s unwillingness to accept what he called the ‘ rigged election ’ may lead to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demonstration of happiness of the globalist-oriented elites regarding the supposed victory of Biden ( it is still not official ) demonstrates the scale of their dissatisfaction with the policies of Donald Trump as well as the rise of the national-oriented ideology of the US citizens ( middle class , workers , employers and owners of small and medium businesses , representatives of the national industry etc ) that the Trump presidency demonstrated .
The potential loss of Donald Trump will mean the loss of these people .
Instead , the United States will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dominance of globalists , neo-liberals , the aggressive part of minorities ( in fact demanding the discrimination of non-minority social groups ) and technological corporations .
At the same time , Donald Trump , widely censored in MSM and social media , says that he won the election ( if only legal votes are counted ) and that he is not planning to surrender his victory to the globalists : Meanwhile , SouthFront ’ s friend , The Saker , released two intersting comments on what ’ s going on in the United @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : why ?
Why is it that US news channels censored a press conference by a President of the United States ?
Why is it that tech giants feel the need to censor Trump ’ s tweets ?
Why is it that in key Dem states the GOP observers were not allowed to actually observe anything ?
Why did the Dems counter-sue just to try to prevent GOP observers from observing the ballot count ?
Why do the media conglomerates all declare Biden the victor even though they all know for a fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ courts can declare a victor ) ?
Why is it that FoxNews was spearheading the anti-Trump cheering during this entire week ?
Why is it that the US deep state needs EU leaders to suddenly all congratulate Biden on a victory ?
Think of what is coming next : lawsuits in state and federal courts , right ?
Then IF the Dems felt confident that the Trump campaign had no case , why not simply relax , wait and see the courts reject the Trump campaign ’ s petitions ?
But no , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if they were all terrified that the courts might do something which would compromise the victory of the Biden campaign !
The very fact of the need for such extreme haste and such un-retractable statements can only be explained by the fear of the Dems that something in their coup plans might go wrong .
And , after all , it is said that Giuliani won over 4000 lawsuits in his career , and he would scare me too : - ) So , in a way , we could consider the Dems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of public opinion a clear sign that they are much more afraid of a court of law .
Will they succeed ?
Yeah , probably , Trump ’ s “ aggregate power ” is dwarfed the the power of the multi-billion dollars interests who are using all their “ propaganda firepower ” to settle the issue before the courts get to .
Yet another proof that the Dems are no democrats at all , but a completely immoral gang of USA-hating thugs who are willing to destroy their own country to defeat any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to challenge them .
They very much remind me of Kerensky and his own gang of masonic plutocrats .
Still , until we actually see that the USSC is also willing to betray the people of the USA , we can still keep a tiny little sense of hope in our hearts .
But we now all better prepare for the worst , because if the USSC also caves in , it will be the end of the United States as we know them .
In a closely coordinated move , the Dems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the victor of the presidential race .
Likewise , the main US TV channels have cut off Trump during a White House press conference .
Before all the votes are counted and before the courts could decide which votes count or not .
In simple legal terms , this election is not over .
But we know that Dems don ’ t give a hoot about facts or the law .
I won ’ t even bother going into all the details about fraud here , I simply don ’ t have the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will do that much better than I could .
I will simply say that there is no doubt in my mind that with so many states and counties reporting both tiny differences between the two candidates AND observers reporting how the Dems used what is called the “ administrative resource ” in Russia ( i.e .
their control of key states , voting locations and of the USPS ) , I personally am convinced that Trump and Giuliani are correct in their assessment that massive fraud has taken place .
This is an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Why ?
Because whether Trump prevails in the courts or not , the Dems have already declared victory and are now celebrating .
So there are two main options ahead : • Trump loses in the courts , and half of the country will feel that this election has been stolen • Trump wins in the courts , and the other half of the country will feel that this elections has been stolen Bottom line is this : the Dems will probably prevail in the end , I don ’ t believe that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against the united US he is no Putin , that is for sure .
But Biden would make a very convincing Eltsin ( if not Chernenko ) , and from the ensuing chaos other , far more courageous and charismatic individuals will emerge .
This is clearly the worst possible outcome for this country and the only thing standing between this outcome and us is the US Supreme Court .
I am not optimistic but , who knows , maybe a miracle will happen .
PS : follow this link to listen to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just took a look at what Fox News is reporting and , thankfully , they are openly celebrating !
!
!
Which , yet again , goes to prove that most of Fox also hates Trump ( with a few exceptions ) and that Murdoch ’ s channel never was even remotely pro-Trump .
Chris Wallace , especially , could not contain his joy and he actually openly said that considering the pressure created by the news announcement that Biden had won , it would be very hard for any judge to disagree @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .
Trump and his “ deplorables ” on one side , the entire US on the other .
Trump , in spite of being the President , could not use any “ administrative resource ” whereas his enemies did .
For four years .
Nonstop .
And after 4 years of incredibly divisive , and completely false accusation , Biden took to the air yesterday and declared that he wants to unite the nation .
How stupid does he ( meaning his handlers , of course ) think the “ deplorables ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the judges on the USSC would have the courage to uphold the law .
Thus I have to assume that by hook or by crook the Dems will take the White House and President Harris will run the country come January .
Trump will probably not only be gone , the regime will attack him and his supporters full force and try to get him convicted of something ( since “ beating Hillary ” is not a criminal offense , they will try to get him for something else ) .
There will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ First and Second Amendments of the Constitution , which is most distressing since these two amendments are the cornerstones of the entire US Constitution .
The USA as we knew it until now are dead , we now will live under a very different regime .
But half of the country , tens of millions of people , will not disappear .
The resistance will probably go to the state level next , and to the courts .
Last , but not least , a lot of US Americans will feel that they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I can ’ t say that they are wrong .
But I do fear the very serious consequences of this realization .
PS : I want to reassure the readers about one thing : four years of Trump has given enough time for Russia to truly finalize her preparations for a full-scale war against the US/NATO/EU .
Russia ’ s armed forces are so far ahead of the US military that it would take a decade or more , and money which the US does not have , to even try to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Russia ) has now left .
So while Biden and his gang will continue the Russia-hating rhetoric , the petty harassment ( taking consular buildings , arresting Russian citizens , even more Russia-strengthening ( yes , that has been the real effect of US sanctions ) sanctions , etc . )
, they won ’ t dare to attack Russia directly , not even in Syria ( which Hillary would have done , take that to the bank ) .
I don ’ t see an attack on China , Iran or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ restore democracy ” on Saint Kitts and Nevis or , maybe , Saint Vincent and the Grenadines , is still a real possibility , I suppose .

The congratulations were provided by the leaders of Canada, France, Israel, Venezuela, the United Kingdom, Belgum and others.
Such great persons like Ukrainian President-Comedian Volodymyr Zelensky and leaders of the Belarusian and Turkish opposition did it among the first. The statement of the Ukrainian president about the fight on corruption is especially funny amid the numerous corruption scandals involving the Biden familiy and the post-2014 coup political regime in Kiev.
Congratulations to @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris! #Ukraine is optimistic about the future of the strategic partnership with the #UnitedStates. ?? and ?? have always collaborated on security, trade, investment, democracy, fight against corruption. Our friendship becomes only stronger! — Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) November 7, 2020
The media-reported situation in the election:
The Canadian Prime Minister that had particular problems (as well as other pro-globalist leaders that suffered from the Trump national-oriented policy) with Donald Trump rushed to declare his support to Biden:
Congratulations, @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Our two countries are close friends, partners, and allies. We share a relationship that’s unique on the world stage. I’m really looking forward to working together and building on that with you both. — Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) November 7, 2020
Israeli Prime Minister:
Congratulations @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Joe, we’ve had a long & warm personal relationship for nearly 40 years, and I know you as a great friend of Israel. I look forward to working with both of you to further strengthen the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel. — Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) November 8, 2020
The French President:
The Americans have chosen their President. Congratulations @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris! We have a lot to do to overcome today’s challenges. Let's work together! — Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) November 7, 2020
The British Prime Minister:
The top German officials also supported Biden and complained that Trump’s unwillingness to accept what he called the ‘rigged election’ may lead to the “constitutional crisis”.
The demonstration of happiness of the globalist-oriented elites regarding the supposed victory of Biden (it is still not official) demonstrates the scale of their dissatisfaction with the policies of Donald Trump as well as the rise of the national-oriented ideology of the US citizens (middle class, workers, employers and owners of small and medium businesses , representatives of the national industry etc) that the Trump presidency demonstrated.
The potential loss of Donald Trump will mean the loss of these people. Instead, the United States will fall deeper into the ideological and political dominance of globalists, neo-liberals, the aggressive part of minorities (in fact demanding the discrimination of non-minority social groups) and technological corporations.
At the same time, Donald Trump, widely censored in MSM and social media, says that he won the election (if only legal votes are counted) and that he is not planning to surrender his victory to the globalists:
71,000,000 Legal Votes. The most EVER for a sitting President! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2020
THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS. I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2020
Meanwhile, SouthFront’s friend, The Saker, released two intersting comments on what’s going on in the United States:
Why is it that US news channels censored a press conference by a President of the United States?
Why is it that tech giants feel the need to censor Trump’s tweets?
Why is it that in key Dem states the GOP observers were not allowed to actually observe anything?
Why did the Dems counter-sue just to try to prevent GOP observers from observing the ballot count?
Why do the media conglomerates all declare Biden the victor even though they all know for a fact that this is false (only the courts can declare a victor)?
Why is it that FoxNews was spearheading the anti-Trump cheering during this entire week?
Why is it that the US deep state needs EU leaders to suddenly all congratulate Biden on a victory?
Think of what is coming next: lawsuits in state and federal courts, right?
Then IF the Dems felt confident that the Trump campaign had no case, why not simply relax, wait and see the courts reject the Trump campaign’s petitions?
But no, instead, they are acting exactly as if they were all terrified that the courts might do something which would compromise the victory of the Biden campaign!
The very fact of the need for such extreme haste and such un-retractable statements can only be explained by the fear of the Dems that something in their coup plans might go wrong. And, after all, it is said that Giuliani won over 4000 lawsuits in his career, and he would scare me too :-)
So, in a way, we could consider the Dems massive push to win in the court of public opinion a clear sign that they are much more afraid of a court of law.
Good.
Will they succeed? Yeah, probably, Trump’s “aggregate power” is dwarfed the the power of the multi-billion dollars interests who are using all their “propaganda firepower” to settle the issue before the courts get to.
Yet another proof that the Dems are no democrats at all, but a completely immoral gang of USA-hating thugs who are willing to destroy their own country to defeat any outsider, good or bad, daring to challenge them. They very much remind me of Kerensky and his own gang of masonic plutocrats.
Still, until we actually see that the USSC is also willing to betray the people of the USA, we can still keep a tiny little sense of hope in our hearts.
But we now all better prepare for the worst, because if the USSC also caves in, it will be the end of the United States as we know them.
In a closely coordinated move, the Dems and their legacy Ziomedia have declared Biden the victor of the presidential race. Likewise, the main US TV channels have cut off Trump during a White House press conference.
Before all the votes are counted and before the courts could decide which votes count or not. In simple legal terms, this election is not over.
But we know that Dems don’t give a hoot about facts or the law.
I won’t even bother going into all the details about fraud here, I simply don’t have the time to do so, and other will do that much better than I could. I will simply say that there is no doubt in my mind that with so many states and counties reporting both tiny differences between the two candidates AND observers reporting how the Dems used what is called the “administrative resource” in Russia (i.e. their control of key states, voting locations and of the USPS), I personally am convinced that Trump and Giuliani are correct in their assessment that massive fraud has taken place.
This is an extremely dangerous situation for the USA. Why? Because whether Trump prevails in the courts or not, the Dems have already declared victory and are now celebrating. So there are two main options ahead:
Trump loses in the courts, and half of the country will feel that this election has been stolen Trump wins in the courts, and the other half of the country will feel that this elections has been stolen
Bottom line is this: the Dems will probably prevail in the end, I don’t believe that Trump has what it takes to prevail against the united US Nomenklatura, he is no Putin, that is for sure. But Biden would make a very convincing Eltsin (if not Chernenko), and from the ensuing chaos other, far more courageous and charismatic individuals will emerge.
This is clearly the worst possible outcome for this country and the only thing standing between this outcome and us is the US Supreme Court.
I am not optimistic but, who knows, maybe a miracle will happen.
The Saker
PS: follow this link to listen to Giuliani’s latest statement:
UPDATE:
I just took a look at what Fox News is reporting and, thankfully, they are openly celebrating!!!
Which, yet again, goes to prove that most of Fox also hates Trump (with a few exceptions) and that Murdoch’s channel never was even remotely pro-Trump. Chris Wallace, especially, could not contain his joy and he actually openly said that considering the pressure created by the news announcement that Biden had won, it would be very hard for any judge to disagree. So, finally, we have it. Trump and his “deplorables” on one side, the entire US Nomenklatura on the other. Trump, in spite of being the President, could not use any “administrative resource” whereas his enemies did. For four years. Nonstop. And after 4 years of incredibly divisive, and completely false accusation, Biden took to the air yesterday and declared that he wants to unite the nation.
How stupid does he (meaning his handlers, of course) think the “deplorables” are?
I would be surprised of the judges on the USSC would have the courage to uphold the law. Thus I have to assume that by hook or by crook the Dems will take the White House and President Harris will run the country come January. Trump will probably not only be gone, the regime will attack him and his supporters full force and try to get him convicted of something (since “beating Hillary” is not a criminal offense, they will try to get him for something else).
There will be an especially virulent attack on the First and Second Amendments of the Constitution, which is most distressing since these two amendments are the cornerstones of the entire US Constitution.
The USA as we knew it until now are dead, we now will live under a very different regime.
But half of the country, tens of millions of people, will not disappear. The resistance will probably go to the state level next, and to the courts. Last, but not least, a lot of US Americans will feel that they are now living under a globalist tyranny. I can’t say that they are wrong. But I do fear the very serious consequences of this realization.
The Saker
PS: I want to reassure the readers about one thing: four years of Trump has given enough time for Russia to truly finalize her preparations for a full-scale war against the US/NATO/EU. Russia’s armed forces are so far ahead of the US military that it would take a decade or more, and money which the US does not have, to even try to catch up. That train (attack on Russia) has now left. So while Biden and his gang will continue the Russia-hating rhetoric, the petty harassment (taking consular buildings, arresting Russian citizens, even more Russia-strengthening (yes, that has been the real effect of US sanctions) sanctions, etc.), they won’t dare to attack Russia directly, not even in Syria (which Hillary would have done, take that to the bank). I don’t see an attack on China, Iran or Venezuela either. An attack to “restore democracy” on Saint Kitts and Nevis or, maybe, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, is still a real possibility, I suppose.

southfront--2020-11-08--Kosovo And European Union’s Voluntary Blindness To The Profitable Business Of Organ Trafficking

Following his resignation on November 5th , as SouthFront previously reported , now former , Kosovo President Hashim Thaci was arrested .
He can be considered as generally accused of crimes against humanity , carried out during the conflict against Serbia .
Earlier in 2020 a special prosecutor accused Thaci and others of being “ criminally responsible ” for 100 murders , during Kosovo ’ s 1998-99 independence war against Serbia .
A former senior commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army ( KLA ) , he later turned to politics , in common with a number of KLA colleagues .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ special prosecutor made accusations in June that the Kosovo leader was “ criminally responsible for nearly 100 murders ” , torture and enforced disappearances .
The Kosovo Specialist Chambers ( KSC ) was set up in 2015 to investigate alleged crimes against ethnic minorities and political opponents by the KLA during the war in which Kosovo broke away from Serbia .
The tribunal operates under Kosovo law but is staffed by international judges and prosecutors .
Back then the charges were being reviewed by a judge , but it appears they ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of what led to this , and what Hashim Thaci actually has done , an investigative piece of reporting was published by Russian newspaper KP , back in 2008 .
Investigative journalists went to Kosovo to follow through on claims made in a book by former Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia ( ICTY ) Carla Del Ponte .
She served as the ICTY Prosecutor between 1999 and announced that she would “ return to normal life ” on January 30th , 2007 .
She was succeeded by Serge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In her book titled , “ The Hunt : Me and the War Criminals , ” Ponte described how a black organ market formed during the Kosovo War .
Meanwhile , she said , the European Union played dumb paying no attention to the crimes .
KP journalists went to Kosovo to learn more about the crimes .
In her book she outlines the organ trafficking business that was allegedly going on , plus investigative journalists from KP went on-site to ask questions .
These are excerpts from the book , below : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who were only identified as Kosovo Albanians , some of the younger and fitter prisoners were visited by doctors and were never hit .
They were transferred to other detention camps in Burrel and the neighboring area , one of which was a barracks behind a yellow house 20 km behind the town .
One room inside this yellow house , the journalists said , was kitted out as a makeshift operating theater , and it was here that surgeons transplanted the organs of prisoners .
These organs , according to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ airport , Tirana , to be sent to surgical clinics abroad to be transplanted to paying patients .
One of the informers had personally carried out a shipment to the airport .
The victims , deprived of a kidney , were then locked up again , inside the barracks , until the moment they were killed for other vital organs .
In this way , the other prisoners in the barracks were aware of the fate that awaited them , and according to the source , pleaded , terrified to be killed immediately @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to these barracks were women from Kosovo , Albania , Russia and other Slavic countries .
Two of the sources said that they helped to bury the corpses of the dead around the yellow house and in a neighboring cemetery .
According to the sources , the organ smuggling was carried out with the knowledge and active involvement of middle and high ranking involvement from the KLA ( ed .
Kosovo Liberation Army ) .
A few months after [ October 2002 ] the investigators of the tribunal and UNMIK reached central Albania @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sources had revealed as the place where the prisoners were killed to transplant their organs .
The journalists and the Albanian prosecutor accompanied the investigators to the site .
The house was now white .
The owner denied it had ever been repainted even though investigators found traces of yellow along the base of its walls .
Inside the investigators found pieces of gauze , a used syringe and two plastic IV bags encrusted with mud and empty bottles of medicine , some of which was of a muscle relaxant often used in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chemical substance revealed to the scientific team traces of blood on the walls and on the floor of a room inside the house , except for in a clean area of the floor sized 180x60cm .
The investigators were not able to determine whether the traces they found were of human blood .
The sources did not indicate the position of the grave of the presumed victims and so we did not find the bodies.
” Serbian journalists investigated the matter , and apparently refused to share their data with anybody else .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ fabricate ” a big scandal , but failed .
In order to verify what was going on , KP journalists went to Kosovo , to see what a “ humanitarian catastrophe ” was , and many of the Kosovo villages back then fell into that category .
Mitrovista isn ’ t an enclave .
It practically borders Serbia , but a bridge divides the city into Albanian and Serbian sections .
The KP journalists spoke to the leader of the local branch of National Serbs Union , Neboysha Iuvovich , who spoke @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actually investigate the organ trafficking .
Almost unprepared they went into Kosovo .
Kosovo appeared to be an example of a successful rescue of a failing state by Western powers , if one was to completely disregard the “ enclaves ” which in this case is a euphemism for a “ Serbian ghetto ” and the conditions in which people were living .
But humanitarian missionaries didn ’ t visit those places , they simply visited where UN peacekeepers were present .
And that wasn ’ t due to lack of funds : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a profitable business , it appears .
This is apparent , even for observers who have been there for mere days .
In another village , Istok , where the journalists ’ driver initially didn ’ t even want to go , afraid and angry at the Albanians .
They found a woman – Milavitsa .
She said that she had left Istok , initially , but returned when she heard that Moscow would allegedly help them and protect them .
Milavitsa ’ s family had lived in Istok for nearly a century @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Albanians blew up a home , fish restaurant , wine cellar and four-car garage in the village .
They also stole a tractor and land .
Her family home was burned .
She named the dead , counting them on her fingers .
Many of the Serbians are farmers , although portions of the land border with Albanian villages and locals don ’ t let Serbs work the fields .
Serbia itself only helps in the capacity that it allows the educated people to leave , while the others are left behind .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ armed , and the Albanians were reportedly wishing to take control of their villages .
Then , the firsthand story comes of a woman ’ s son , who simply vanished in 1999 , and she was told that he was alive , but she had never seen him , for 9 years in 2008 .
“ He was coming home and had to pick up some shepherds along the way , ” she said .
There was an old Soviet TV in the corner of the room .
“ Someone stopped Yakov @ @ @ @ @ @ @ road with the doors half open .
I went to the KFOR for help , but they said calmly : ‘ Your son was kidnapped by an independent criminal group.
’ The authorities didn ’ t look for him at all .
But then word came that Yakov was still alive .
We asked a foreign journalist who was preparing to meet Albanian criminals to help us find him .
They again told her that Yakov was alive .
About one month later , some people contacted me and asked me to give @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my son .
Albanians have contacted me several times saying that he was alive , but they couldn ’ t release him .
Why did they want him to begin with ?
” “ Have you continued searching for your son ?
” we asked .
“ Yes .
We were continuously told he was alive .
We met with Major Taylor who commanded KFOR in our region .
He told us they couldn ’ t find and free our son .
But he added we should try to buy him back through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ friend of Yakov ’ s said that if he tried to intervene , he and his whole family would be killed .
Other Albanians refused to help us , although we ’ ve managed to set aside a good amount of money to buy him back.
” Many of the kidnapped people were found in mass graves , but those were the old ones .
The younger ones were apparently kept in special camps , when an international commission is nearing the camp , they ’ re moved , and they live until @ @ @ @ @ @ @ specific organ ” and the kidnapped victim is taken to an underground clinic outside of Kosovo .
Finally , it turns out that no Serb was actually left alive who could testify , the KP journalists were told that by MP in Serbia ’ s parliament and General Bozhidar Delich .
They visited all 10 locations , asked questions , saw no war , but new buildings instead .
And they spoke to children , who said that America is good , the UK is good , Europe is good .
Serbia was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of them all .
Some adults joined in the political debate .
But when asked about the concentration camps , they answered : And this was heard in every single town , as if the Serbs had never lived there , at all .
The journalists then spoke to the leader of a group who were attempting to track what happened to the abducted individuals .
Simo Spasich tried to get The Hague to investigate the organ trafficking .
When asked why that happened , he said that organs needed to be harvested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rogozin , Russia ’ s representative to NATO simply said that the explanation is that ’ s how politics worked , especially in the west : So yes , legitimate witnesses appear to be gone , there are some , but not many , and nobody is looking for them .
Imported democracy is a legitimate business , and organ trafficking appears to also be quite profitable .
With the collective West looking to the side , of course it would pass without a hitch .

Following his resignation on November 5th, as SouthFront previously reported, now former, Kosovo President Hashim Thaci was arrested.
He can be considered as generally accused of crimes against humanity, carried out during the conflict against Serbia.
Earlier in 2020 a special prosecutor accused Thaci and others of being “criminally responsible” for 100 murders, during Kosovo’s 1998-99 independence war against Serbia.
A former senior commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), he later turned to politics, in common with a number of KLA colleagues.
His indictment had been expected since the special prosecutor made accusations in June that the Kosovo leader was “criminally responsible for nearly 100 murders”, torture and enforced disappearances.
The Kosovo Specialist Chambers (KSC) was set up in 2015 to investigate alleged crimes against ethnic minorities and political opponents by the KLA during the war in which Kosovo broke away from Serbia. The tribunal operates under Kosovo law but is staffed by international judges and prosecutors.
“The Indictment alleges that Hashim THAÇI, Kadri VESELI, and the other charged suspects are criminally responsible for nearly 100 murders. The crimes alleged in the Indictment involve hundreds of known victims of Kosovo Albanian, Serb, Roma, and other ethnicities and include political opponents,” the prosecutor’s office said in a statement back in June.
Back then the charges were being reviewed by a judge, but it appears they’ve all passed.
“The Specialist Prosecutor has deemed it necessary to issue this public notice of charges because of repeated efforts by Hashim THAÇI and Kadri VESELI to obstruct and undermine the work of the KSC,” the prosecutor’s office said. “Mr THAÇI and Mr VESELI are believed to have carried out a secret campaign to overturn the law creating the Court and otherwise obstruct the work of the Court in an attempt to ensure that they do not face justice. By taking these actions, Mr THAÇI and Mr VESELI have put their personal interests ahead of the victims of their crimes, the rule of law, and all people of Kosovo,” the statement concluded.
To provide some overview of what led to this, and what Hashim Thaci actually has done, an investigative piece of reporting was published by Russian newspaper KP, back in 2008. Investigative journalists went to Kosovo to follow through on claims made in a book by former Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) Carla Del Ponte.
She served as the ICTY Prosecutor between 1999 and announced that she would “return to normal life” on January 30th, 2007. She was succeeded by Serge Brammertz on January 1st, 2008.
In her book titled, “The Hunt: Me and the War Criminals,” Ponte described how a black organ market formed during the Kosovo War. Meanwhile, she said, the European Union played dumb paying no attention to the crimes. KP journalists went to Kosovo to learn more about the crimes.
In her book she outlines the organ trafficking business that was allegedly going on, plus investigative journalists from KP went on-site to ask questions.
These are excerpts from the book, below:
“According to the journalists’ sources, who were only identified as Kosovo Albanians, some of the younger and fitter prisoners were visited by doctors and were never hit. They were transferred to other detention camps in Burrel and the neighboring area, one of which was a barracks behind a yellow house 20 km behind the town.

The sources did not indicate the position of the grave of the presumed victims and so we did not find the bodies.”
Serbian journalists investigated the matter, and apparently refused to share their data with anybody else. According to some, they wished to “fabricate” a big scandal, but failed.
In order to verify what was going on, KP journalists went to Kosovo, to see what a “humanitarian catastrophe” was, and many of the Kosovo villages back then fell into that category.
“KP traveled to the Kosovsku-Mitrovitsu enclave in north Kosovo to learn more about the enclave phenomenon. Our journalists sat in a dilapidated cafe waiting for the Kosovo Serbian rally to begin. The cafe’s windows were covered in bullet holes. The rally was to commence at 12:44. The number has a special subtext. It’s the number of a UN resolution on Kosovo declaring the territory an indelible part of Serbia.”
Mitrovista isn’t an enclave. It practically borders Serbia, but a bridge divides the city into Albanian and Serbian sections.
“Unofficial guards protected the Serbian side. This small detail shows who is the aggressor in the situation and who is on the defense. Forty last names of deceased Serbs are written on an obelisk on the Serbian side. The Albanians have tried to annex their section of the city on numerous occasions. The bridge served as a stage for bloody wars. It’s quiet on the Serbian side. Muscular men sit in a pink 24-hour cafe. They’re officially called the bridge’s guardians, as their job is to stop Albanians attacking from across the bridge. They greeted us cautiously. The waiter approached us slowly and indifferently.”
The KP journalists spoke to the leader of the local branch of National Serbs Union, Neboysha Iuvovich, who spoke of why Del Ponte didn’t actually investigate the organ trafficking.
“Many politicians are straying from their positions and writing about the truth,” Neboysha said. “Carla Del Ponte didn’t want to write about what really happened before because she would have had to launch investigations into crimes connected with organ trafficking. It would have been career suicide for an EU politician in Kosovo. We have enough facts to prove genocide. We have information confirming 1,200 Serbs were kidnapped and 1,700 killed. No one can say for sure. Serbs were kidnapped all over Kosovo. People disappeared — and not farmers but doctors. Several were kidnapped. One was the famous surgeon Andrea Tomanovish. His body was never found. Try going south to the Albanian border. Don’t think about talking about this with the Albanian administration, though. You’ll disappear. And only speak English with the Albanians.”
Almost unprepared they went into Kosovo.
“Two-hundred meters, barbed wire fences, a KFOR outpost… Then everything changed. All the sudden we saw clean, swept streets, bright signs, shop Turkish- and Roma-style windows. And U.S. flags. The new Albanian Kosovo is still celebrating victory.”
Kosovo appeared to be an example of a successful rescue of a failing state by Western powers, if one was to completely disregard the “enclaves” which in this case is a euphemism for a “Serbian ghetto” and the conditions in which people were living. But humanitarian missionaries didn’t visit those places, they simply visited where UN peacekeepers were present.
And that wasn’t due to lack of funds:
“Kosovo is crammed with cash. EU and U.S. humanitarian organizations are making significant contributions to the economy. Albanians are also sending huge annual remittances from Western Europe. Part of this money is earned from criminal activities. But Kosovo can’t yet cope with these substantial money streams. The funds are poorly managed and large sums are invested in outlandish construction projects, such as 100-meter swimming pools in entirely uninhabited areas. Thousands of consumer goods stores stand by the road. The average Kosovo village has 5-10 supermarkets for every 500 residents, as well as three car washes and mechanic’s shops. The country’s elegant agrarian landscape now has tens of thousands of newly built elite homes. Scattered among them are the skeletons of Serbian homes in ruins, covered in weeds. Albanians are dismantling these homes and using the materials to build more multilevel mega markets. One theory why these stores are built is that they are used for money laundering. They have few customers and the assortment is always e — nuts and mineral water. It’s interesting to think how long these stores would have to run before covering their costs. The average land plot for these mega markets sells for 100,000 euro.”
Democracy, the imported kind, is a profitable business, it appears. This is apparent, even for observers who have been there for mere days.
“The EU can’t explain why the Albanian mafia was given a republic to rule after massacring the Serbian population. But the Albanians know how to play the democratic game. Each mega market boasts a collection of small EU and U.S. flags, although the well-being of Kosovo residents is divided purely along ethnic lines — a mockery of the democratic values that the country pretends to uphold.”
In another village, Istok, where the journalists’ driver initially didn’t even want to go, afraid and angry at the Albanians. They found a woman – Milavitsa.
She said that she had left Istok, initially, but returned when she heard that Moscow would allegedly help them and protect them.
“I came back when I learned that Moscow had decided to help us. But the Russians outsourced the work to a German company that hired Albanians to fulfill the contract. In effect, the Albanians made money off the Russians, by building our homes and not providing us with electricity or water. This was done on purpose. But I’m still happy the house was built. Before I was living in a shed with a cow.”
Milavitsa’s family had lived in Istok for nearly a century. In the summer of 1999, Albanians blew up a home, fish restaurant, wine cellar and four-car garage in the village. They also stole a tractor and land. Her family home was burned. She named the dead, counting them on her fingers.
“Did you know that Serbs were kidnapped and their organs trafficked?” the journalists finally asked. “Yes, we all knew! We knew that only young, strong men went missing. On June 10, the Albanians rounded up about 50 people here in Istok and took them away. No one ever saw them again. We appealed to both the Serbian and EU authorities for help. But they said that we didn’t have any evidence. As if you can just go to a clinic where organs are being trafficked, take photos and leave!”
Many of the Serbians are farmers, although portions of the land border with Albanian villages and locals don’t let Serbs work the fields.
“They shoot farmers,” said Mile Popovich, a member of the local administration. “Almost everything in our enclave is completely natural. The economy is ruined and the Albanians don’t buy anything from the Serbs.”
Serbia itself only helps in the capacity that it allows the educated people to leave, while the others are left behind.
“It’s hard to call it ‘help,'” Popovich said. “Their policy is to move all the educated people to Serbia and help them find work. Belgrade helped all qualified workers leave. Only we farmers and workers remain. But that’s okay. We’ll win Kosovo back the same way we lost it. And our friends will be stronger by then. I don’t think we should drag Russia into a war right now. In the meanwhile our kids are growing up.”
The Serbians in the villages were also armed, and the Albanians were reportedly wishing to take control of their villages.
“They’re too afraid. We can call 5,000 men to arms in a moment,” Popovich said. “The KFOR soldiers already tried to disarm us. The Poles came first. They walked through the enclave, spoke with locals and later told their commanding officers they wouldn’t do it. Then the Americans came with their search dogs on helicopters. They went to each home looking for arms, but we sent our shepherd dogs after them. Then the Americans climbed back into their helicopters and took off. For some reason, they haven’t rushed to disarm the Albanians… But the KLA has shot at our buses. People have died in the thousands. A lot of people have disappeared without a trace. We used to worry during kidnappings in 1999. My neighbor was kidnapped and they never found his body. The kidnapping started as soon as NATO forces came to Kosovo.”
Then, the firsthand story comes of a woman’s son, who simply vanished in 1999, and she was told that he was alive, but she had never seen him, for 9 years in 2008.
“He was coming home and had to pick up some shepherds along the way,” she said. There was an old Soviet TV in the corner of the room. “Someone stopped Yakov. They found his car by the road with the doors half open. I went to the KFOR for help, but they said calmly: ‘Your son was kidnapped by an independent criminal group.’ The authorities didn’t look for him at all. But then word came that Yakov was still alive. We asked a foreign journalist who was preparing to meet Albanian criminals to help us find him. They again told her that Yakov was alive. About one month later, some people contacted me and asked me to give them clothes and money for food for my son. Albanians have contacted me several times saying that he was alive, but they couldn’t release him. Why did they want him to begin with?” “Have you continued searching for your son?” we asked. “Yes. We were continuously told he was alive. We met with Major Taylor who commanded KFOR in our region. He told us they couldn’t find and free our son. But he added we should try to buy him back through our Albanian acquaintances. A good Albanian friend of Yakov’s said that if he tried to intervene, he and his whole family would be killed. Other Albanians refused to help us, although we’ve managed to set aside a good amount of money to buy him back.”
Many of the kidnapped people were found in mass graves, but those were the old ones. The younger ones were apparently kept in special camps, when an international commission is nearing the camp, they’re moved, and they live until an order is given for a “specific organ” and the kidnapped victim is taken to an underground clinic outside of Kosovo.
Finally, it turns out that no Serb was actually left alive who could testify, the KP journalists were told that by MP in Serbia’s parliament and General Bozhidar Delich.
“We received information about the concentration camps holding Serbian prisoners,” Delich told KP. “We passed these materials along to international organizations. But the terrorists had their own links in the KFOR and UN missions. Whenever the commission intended on checking a specific location, the prisoners were quickly transported to another camp. Back then, we had high hopes we would see the prisoners alive. In 1999, Serbia released 2,000 Albanian prisoners to Kosovo, hoping to receive kidnapped Serbs in return. But the Albanians didn’t send one! Of course not! They would describe the horrors they were subjected to, including organ extraction. The KLA had about 10 concentration camps for organ donors in south Kosovo. The largest were Budak, Yablonits, Ponoshevets, Zrsts and Nashestk. There was a huge camp in Prizren near a bank building, but it’s very dangerous traveling there.”
They visited all 10 locations, asked questions, saw no war, but new buildings instead. And they spoke to children, who said that America is good, the UK is good, Europe is good. Serbia was bad, and Russia was the worst of them all.
Some adults joined in the political debate. But when asked about the concentration camps, they answered:
“The Serbs were never here. There was never a war here. We always lived here.”
And this was heard in every single town, as if the Serbs had never lived there, at all.
The journalists then spoke to the leader of a group who were attempting to track what happened to the abducted individuals.
Simo Spasich tried to get The Hague to investigate the organ trafficking.
“The Albanians didn’t kill everyone at once,” Spasich said. “We found bodies in mass graves and the mountains. But the fate of many other Serbs was unclear until several facts later came to light. I first spoke with Ponte about this in 2001 in Belgrade. We gave her a list of 1,300 kidnapped individuals and the letters that were dropped over Kosovo by NATO planes signed by Tachi. They called all the Albanians to leave the country before the bombings began. The Albanians left in masses guarded by KLA soldiers. Our kidnapped Serbs were seen among them. The Albanian’s used this maneuver to get the kidnapped Serbs out of the country under false pretenses as refugees.”
When asked why that happened, he said that organs needed to be harvested.
“Did you know that the Serbs were kidnapped for their organs?” the journalists asked. “I assumed so,” Spasich said. “We received information in this regard. I learned from military personnel that this happens in western Macedonia, too. When Ponte told us the Serbs on our list had been killed, she knew that their organs had been stolen. We’re preparing a lawsuit against her for masking these crimes. We could have punished the guilty four years ago. But Kosovo’s independence was dearer to The Hague than some Serbs. They were willing to close their eyes to the horrors committed by the Albanians. It’s a big political game. If everyone knew about the brutalities committed against the Serbs, no one would have recognized Kosovo’s independence.”
And finally, back then Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s representative to NATO simply said that the explanation is that’s how politics worked, especially in the west:
“The international community always knew about the organ trafficking as described in Ponte’s book. These are things that everyone knows who’s ever been involved with Kosovo’s problems. There is serious evidence discrediting Tachi, the KLA’s head, who’s still respected in the West. Everyone knew that the KLA is a terrorist organization financed by drug trafficking. For the West, acknowledging these facts meant breaking their plans for dividing Serbia, changing the power scheme in the Balkans and weakening Russian influence. My partners in Brussels call it ‘real-deal politics.'”
So yes, legitimate witnesses appear to be gone, there are some, but not many, and nobody is looking for them. Imported democracy is a legitimate business, and organ trafficking appears to also be quite profitable. With the collective West looking to the side, of course it would pass without a hitch.

On November 7, Azerbaijan State News Agency (AZERTAC) released documents claiming to prove that Armenia was settling Syrian Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh in order to change the demography of the disputed region.
The state-run news agency said the documents were found in the office of Armenia’s National Security Service in the district of Zangilan, that was recently captured by Azerbaijani forces.
Azerbaijan launched a large offensive against Armenian forces in Nagorno-Karabakh on September 27. Thousands from both sides have lost their lives while fighting in the region, so far.
The documents supposedly include the names of 60 Syrian Armenians who were recently settled in Zangilan by the Armenian state.
“It became clear that 60 Syrian Armenians, 19 families in total, mentioned on the list were relocated to Zangilan as part of Armenia’s illegal resettlement policy in the occupied Azerbaijani territories,” AZERTAC report reads.
The agency also shared photocopies of passports which allegedly belong to two Syrian Armenian men, Baazo Hraj Sepob from al-Hasakah and Kirakos Babkin from Aleppo. The men were settled in Zangilan, according to the agency’s claims.
According to the AZERTAC, the Azerbaijani government is currently taking necessary investigative measures. Baku may be planning to issue an official complaint against Armenia.
The documents shared by the AZERTAC are yet to be verified by an independent side. Even if the documents were authentic, there is evidence that the Armenian state was directly involved in the re-settlements of Syrian Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. These people may be just refugees who fled the war in Syria.
