Im an Albanian myself and I call this rule stupidity..All of the problems in Albania are caused by the old people and the system of living they created..Young Albanians are way smarter and I can see future for Albania..I see Albanians saying how proud they are for their country but the truth is that they fight each other and I cant see anything to be proud of..
TRAP KILLA ...I agree with you!I date a person from there for many year's and he was very old fashion that I broke up with him...I feel so bad for those people.I really hope someday all this would be over.
TRAP KILLA the problem my friend is that the majority of the Albanians are extremely attached to the old traditions and have this stupid pride over their flag and their land as if this land has ever offered them anything apart from poverty and immigration....i really don't get this mentality.I mean it is normal to love your homeland but the most albanians i know do this in a fanatic and nationalistic way,hating their neighbours
@@MrAbagaz ??? Albanians hate no one exept russia, serbia and greece AND with good reasons on why to hate them. And also, Albania is one of the most resource rich countries in europe per capita, Albania is VERY rich in resources as i said. Its just that money hungry idiots lead the country.
Journey man , as an Albanian that objected to the core your previous video about Albania , let me say that this is a spot ON video . Congratulations because by exposing this archaic social phenomenon still present in some northern isolate rural areas , more people will be conscious about it . It takes time to change a habit of 500 years old , and the state should invest itself much more in the fight against it .
our modern justice systems do not provide for forgiveness. To some extent, the Iranian system for example provides for mercy, because the family of a murder victim can grant mercy to the offender if they like to do so.
wow that's so crazy that years after this documentary, the kid grew up and ended the blood feud once and for all by wiping out the entire family! so not only would there be nobody left to come after him, but also as revenge for ruining his childhood and keeping him imprisoned in his home for a over a decade. what a savage!
Blood-fueds exist in every country of the world. This law was introduced and was functional when the government could not protect the people of Albania over 500 years ago. Without this law Albania would of been an anarchy. The law is simple and very clear to those who have any common sense. If you kill me, you will die. If you rape me you will die. In a modern society it may sound harsh but when there is no police to protect you this actually works. Just like a jail system, you do the crime, you pay the time. Do a little research before you judge the Albanian people and point fingers.
T Bone This is completely different because the guilty doesn't always pay,but his relatives that are innocent....they cant live a normal life just because a random guy that happens to have some blood connection with them, committed a crime without anyone's permission.....this kind of ''traditions'' have no reason to be present in our modern world
Matthew 18: 21-22 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times? Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

Ephesians 4:31-32 King James Version (KJV) Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

This does not work with the Kanun. because it is a PAGAN law. The north of Albania was never truly converted. The Kanun will exist as long as the Illyrian DNA will persist@@mariapapa4122
If there was only audio, I'd think this was about some primitive tribe far from the civilized world...but these people have televisions, and cars, and they wear suits. This makes no sense.
So let me get this straight this poor young boy and many other children are suffering because of the sins of the older family members even when some of them weren't even old enough to walk when it happened. I get its important to carry on certain traditions but this one you can honestly just trash it.
Why does the Kanun exist in this modern world? Because it is a law book, just like the Christian law book, the Bible. What is the difference? Well most of the world got converted either to Christianity or Islam, because before that they didnt really have any religion. This was different in Pelasgian lands of Illyria. Because the ancient civilization in this land had a very strong Pagan religion which could not be overthrown by the new religions. it is as simple as that. the Kanun is a pagan law book that could not be changed by the Christian or Islamic morality.
That shit is crazy!! Big ups to the victims family that ended the beef!! I mean its pointless 🤷 especially to kill someone who had nothing to do with the killing
You can say that again that 2 wrongs don't make a right but this time say it to the youth in Chicago, Detroit and New York where retaliation makes up for 50% of crimes. You're welcome closed minded person.
Can't the ancient law receive an update ? For example if these who are to be killed do something very strong in excuse to the other family - to be forgiven. Cause even the most glorious soldiers sometime spare an enemy who was to be killed - if he begged for pity, corrected other misdeeds, was screwed enough, etc - Especially to families who actually haven't done it. Murder must not be the aim, but a one corrected situation.
they could demand servitude or money instead of the death of another to compensate.....i know my solution isn't great, but it sure as hell beats innocent children being murdered for the callousness of other family members against another family
something similar in rural Thailand. I heard one man killed another in a card game (gambling) in rural Thailand. The actual killer went to the dead mans home and slaughtered all his family. Because if he didnt, then the dead mans family would seek revenge on the killers family. talk about extreme.

Papyrus Larus Britannica.
***** Dude, we Albanians never use the name Albanian, this is only applied to us by others. And about the Plisos, the white round hat, this hat was used by the Spartans, but we Albanians never knew this until this days, and my grandfather isn't educated about the Spartans. We use Shqiptar, Arberore, Arberesh as name. We never use Albanian. But the Romans use this name for us and it applies to the white mountais in Albania. Also the Scottish called themselves Albania, does that mean we are now Scottish and Azerbajanis, what more? And it doesn't matter, if you got little bit logic in your head you should understand that WE don't use Albanian as name, if the paradox didn't exist this name would neither exist to us. Albanian is applied in latin for the people who live around this area of the white muntains. And Albania in Azerbajan was Roman name for the area because it probably had white mountains in the area. You serbs have come here and taken our land, you came from Russia, you was called slaves. And your language is known to be Indo-Iranian language. Albanian is indo-European language, this is what I learned in school where I live in Norway. And the Black eagle flag was used by Georg Kastriot to fight the occupation of Ottoman empire. Its was Georg Kastriot who started Shqiptar, Shqiptar was a political movement amongst the Albanians to resist the occupation of the Ottoman. And it means the eagles. And this flag Georg Kastriot took from Byzantine, the black 2 headed eagle was used as a war flag by the Byzantines. And Albania was in Byzantine empire almost always. And you lie about that the tribes of Azerbaijanis used black eagle in their flag, they used white eagle. And you totally ignored the ancient writings that I showed you. Here take a look again. This is written in ancient time before there existed any slavs in Balkan. Claudius Ptolemy, the ancient Greek geographer: "Eastern of Epidamnus, there lies a city named Albanopolis. This city is inhabited by an Illyrian tribe called Albani. Local people refer to this area and areas around as Arberi." (13,23) Polybius from Megalopolis, the ancient Greek historian in his work mentions a city named Arbon: "The people who lived there were called Arbanios and Arbanitai."

The people of that region were known as Arbonios and Arbonites. The name 'Arber' is still used today and it is a very respected patriotic name for Albanians. And it was the name we used before Scanderbeg founded Shqiptar(Eagles) movement. Is it English that you don't understand? Even in these ancient texts it explains to you that the local people don't use the name Albani but Arberi. Handicapped aren't you?
***** But you in your Slavic language don't refer to yourself using the name Slav, but this name Slav is used by foreigners and you have got your own name referring to yourselves. That's why you cannot make a latin word that means slave and translate it into your own language, when these latins who referred to the slavs in their own language didn't even know slavic. There is no link. And bringing up this shows how limited your brain is to think. Yes Alba means white in latin, and it is latins who refer to us as Albanians. We referred to ourself as Arber, and later when Ottomans came, Georg Kastriot started a military-politic movement called "The Eagles"- "Shqipet" and when you refere to each individual you say this "Shqiptar" did ....... "Shqiponje" is referred to the "Eagle". When Georg Kastriot came, many Arbers joined his anti-ottoman movement and after his success to win every battle against this ottoman superpower while the serbs lost every battle, it was very honorable to regard yourself as "Shqipe". So do you now understand with your incapable brain that Shqiptar is a new name for Albanians which started in 15th century. And the name Arber is holy for Albanians, it unites all the Albanians, in Italy there are communities there who don't regards themselves as Shqiptar, but only as Arbereshe, and in Greece the Arvanites who was the reason for Greece's independence they call themselves Arberore, and they talk same as Albanians. And Greeks claim these are the ancient Greeks and have no link to Albanians. These Arvanites are Orthodox. What do you mean that I say all ancient texts spoke about us? I only showed you a few referring to the Albanoi in the location of Albania, and it even goes as far to say local people refer to themselves as Arber. If this is not us, then who is it then?
Idk why we had to make this rule just "blood has to be paid with blood", its stupid af. If you have a dumbass dad or brother that killed someone and ur a guy in ur family u have to pay the price instead of them. I would make it so that only the one who has commited the killing shall pay with blood. Otherwise is just plain stupid.
Because when this was written the social structure was tribal. What’s most ridiculous is that some of these people are picking up old feuds from the pre-communist era ... these are old men looking to settle scores from two or three generations ago for a grandfather that was killed.
Good antidote to the view that peasant culture is groovy. It is not, as Balzac showed. Roll on the day when higher culture renders vengeance-loving peasant culture obsolete.
This has nothing to do with Islam or any other religion don't understand why people bring Islam into it, do not judge a religion based on how a person behaves, shall we start judging all other religions based on how their believers behave, btw proud to be albanian, fudes are everywhere in the world.

For those of you who are wandering. The Canun or Cannon, is very old law book. It became codified and written down officially in Medieval times by the Prince Lek Alexander Dukagjini, who was a great warrior and ally of Skanderbeg. It is in fact the remnant of the Ancient Pagan Illyrian Religion. After all what is a Religion but a code of Laws? Gjergj Fishta the Albanian thinker once said, that Albania has 4 official religions, but none of them have been able to conquer the heart of this Pagan people. The Canun is the real religion of Albanians and not muslim. The reasons for this is that the Albanian people are very old Civilization, and the Pagan religion has existed in these lands for thousands of years and was well established, in contrast to other newer people such as slavs who converted to orthodox quite quickly, because they did not really have a strong autochthonous civilization. The Albanian language is the Olderst language known to history, and I believe Albanian people should be given the status of First Nations of Europe and given rights and privileges, and protected from the evil slavs and greeks.

How horrible, sounds like childish nonsense dominating their priorities. When will these people grow up? Can we imagine what it would be like to be in fear of going outdoors because some psychotic goof-ball wants to murder you just because he can.
it's not just because they can . if you kill an important person to someone , he will return you back . Blood by blood . But women and children are not allowed to harm them in KANUN .
The albanian majority has moved on and MANY albanians hate the Kanun (Blood code) its just that old bastards that live in villages up on the mountains still keep it alive.
if you wanted to escape from albania in hoxha's time you could if they didnt catch you and kill you at the border but you family will be removed from their village and dishonored and will suffer all their live because of your escape so that was hoxha's mentality so don't think communsim is an answer my friend
elise i can tell you all the information i will recomend you to read a very good book written on the subject by the giant of albanian literature, ismail Kadare. Read the book "the file on H" you will know everything you need....
Elise VD i can tell u some quick info BASE ones If someone kill a memeber of ur Family u have ur right to kill back its like BLOOD 4 BLOOD but if they did a mistake and they dont want to be killed they have their right to stay home otherwise if they get outside they might get killed with less words u cant go to their house and kill also is a rule u cant touch girls. Girls are free to go work shoping etc only boys have to stay home if they want to be alive Kanun says Give respect to get it back EDIT: When i said u have ur right to kill back that doesnt mean u cant go to jail i mean KANUN gives ur right to kill back in honor to get the blood back but ofc u will go to jail for what u done
That teacher is a hero.

The name 'Arber' is still used today and it is a very respected patriotic name for Albanians. And it was the name we used before Scanderbeg founded Shqiptar(Eagles) movement.
Is it English that you don't understand? Even in these ancient texts it explains to you that the local people don't use the name Albani but Arberi. Handicapped aren't you?
***** But you in your Slavic language don't refer to yourself using the name Slav, but this name Slav is used by foreigners and you have got your own name referring to yourselves. That's why you cannot make a latin word that means slave and translate it into your own language, when these latins who referred to the slavs in their own language didn't even know slavic. There is no link. And bringing up this shows how limited your brain is to think.
Yes Alba means white in latin, and it is latins who refer to us as Albanians. We referred to ourself as Arber, and later when Ottomans came, Georg Kastriot started a military-politic movement called "The Eagles"- "Shqipet" and when you refere to each individual you say this "Shqiptar" did ....... "Shqiponje" is referred to the "Eagle". When Georg Kastriot came, many Arbers joined his anti-ottoman movement and after his success to win every battle against this ottoman superpower while the serbs lost every battle, it was very honorable to regard yourself as "Shqipe". So do you now understand with your incapable brain that Shqiptar is a new name for Albanians which started in 15th century. And the name Arber is holy for Albanians, it unites all the Albanians, in Italy there are communities there who don't regards themselves as Shqiptar, but only as Arbereshe, and in Greece the Arvanites who was the reason for Greece's independence they call themselves Arberore, and they talk same as Albanians. And Greeks claim these are the ancient Greeks and have no link to Albanians. These Arvanites are Orthodox.
What do you mean that I say all ancient texts spoke about us? I only showed you a few referring to the Albanoi in the location of Albania, and it even goes as far to say local people refer to themselves as Arber. If this is not us, then who is it then?
This is Not often this is rare this was over 20 Not anymore Very rare
What interests me is why people kill in the first place. The reasons sound petty
Krenari/pride
a tale as old as time
Idk why we had to make this rule just "blood has to be paid with blood", its stupid af. If you have a dumbass dad or brother that killed someone and ur a guy in ur family u have to pay the price instead of them. I would make it so that only the one who has commited the killing shall pay with blood. Otherwise is just plain stupid.
Because when this was written the social structure was tribal. What’s most ridiculous is that some of these people are picking up old feuds from the pre-communist era ... these are old men looking to settle scores from two or three generations ago for a grandfather that was killed.
You see. That's why Albania is not the greatest country in the world. I wish for this poor kid to be ok.
That revenge tradition must be stopped.
I agree.
no it must continue
Good antidote to the view that peasant culture is groovy. It is not, as Balzac showed. Roll on the day when higher culture renders vengeance-loving peasant culture obsolete.
chalonerp Have you read the “Peasant” from Honore De Balzac?
Is hard to change something tradition for hundred years
Albanian culture would not exist today without kanun
This has nothing to do with Islam or any other religion don't understand why people bring Islam into it, do not judge a religion based on how a person behaves, shall we start judging all other religions based on how their believers behave, btw proud to be albanian, fudes are everywhere in the world.
Better for Albania not to join the EU
We dont want to our corrupt Goverment wants to we dont care we need a pstriotic leader
so sad

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
1 Thessalonians 5:15 King James Version (KJV)
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
Matthew 5:38-39 King James Version (KJV)
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Ephesians 4:31-32 King James Version (KJV)
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Romans 12:19 King James Version (KJV)
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Proverbs 20:22 King James Version (KJV)
Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee.
Deuteronomy 32:35 King James Version (KJV)
To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
This shit is beyond crazy....
Finally, what happened to this boy?
kanun is Alexander the gret Albania pellazg illyria autochtones in Balkan Albania
For those of you who are wandering. The Canun or Cannon, is very old law book. It became codified and written down officially in Medieval times by the Prince Lek Alexander Dukagjini, who was a great warrior and ally of Skanderbeg. It is in fact the remnant of the Ancient Pagan Illyrian Religion. After all what is a Religion but a code of Laws? Gjergj Fishta the Albanian thinker once said, that Albania has 4 official religions, but none of them have been able to conquer the heart of this Pagan people. The Canun is the real religion of Albanians and not muslim. The reasons for this is that the Albanian people are very old Civilization, and the Pagan religion has existed in these lands for thousands of years and was well established, in contrast to other newer people such as slavs who converted to orthodox quite quickly, because they did not really have a strong autochthonous civilization.
The Albanian language is the Olderst language known to history, and I believe Albanian people should be given the status of First Nations of Europe and given rights and privileges, and protected from the evil slavs and greeks.
Po vlla. Edhe sic mund ta shikosh se cfar veprimesh sjell ky liber njerzor me gabime. Ligjet e Allahut jane te drejta dhe e zgjidhin problemin e gjakmarrjes. Edhe leje iher qe shqipja sesht gjuha ne e vjeter or burr ca flet. Ne edhe alfabetin se kemi tonin perdorim alfabet latin.
That statement couldn't be further from the truth.

the most dirtiest video i have ever seen on youtube!!great,marvelous..and they say they are christians!shame on them!!revenge is not ours but by God
How horrible, sounds like childish nonsense dominating their priorities. When will these people grow up? Can we imagine what it would be like to be in fear of going outdoors because some psychotic goof-ball wants to murder you just because he can.
it's not just because they can . if you kill an important person to someone , he will return you back . Blood by blood . But women and children are not allowed to harm them in KANUN .
What a culture and a backward thinking! I feel sorry and deprived for the new generation of this country.
Interesting.
ah... ignorance! it ruins people inside and out.
Seems like some sort of Amish mafia.
Didnt these Albanians get a 2nd country in Kosovo, that is poorer even than Albania?
Technically yes but what is your point we always lived in Kosovo and wanted independence from Serbia
Can you hear it? It's Hoxha's ghost laughing.
Blood revenge is in Albania-Kosovo-Macedonia wehre Albaninas Live.
Macedonian orthodox don't have that rule only Albanian Muslims do
@@MrMSalexanderMK is not Albanian Muslim law and is not used only by Albanian Muslims also Catholic and Orthodox Albanians used
@@MrMSalexanderMK this law is practised By Greeks as Well
ITS ONLY NATIVE BALKAN ORTHODOX SLAVS WHO DONT KNOW THIS BECAUSE THEY SRENT NATIVE
True, but North Macedonia have very few cases of blood feud. Albanians also live in Montenegro, most of them have abandoned the blood feud.
some of these translations 😭
Oleni marinat shqiptar ka kalua ajo koh faj ka vech dorasi chka kan faj fmija lle grat
Wow crazy
I think not.
Move on people..its 2017 for gods sake
The albanian majority has moved on and MANY albanians hate the Kanun (Blood code) its just that old bastards that live in villages up on the mountains still keep it alive.
So?
This is sooo weird......and CRAZY!
They need a leader like Enver Hoxha to stop this barbaric shit
if you wanted to escape from albania in hoxha's time you could if they didnt catch you and kill you at the border but you family will be removed from their village and dishonored and will suffer all their live because of your escape so that was hoxha's mentality so don't think communsim is an answer my friend
For a guy with a cross on ur pfp you are wrong
You can fucking thank NATO for this shit.
And the fucking EU.
How ?
Crazy People
Ist not so anymore this is rare this was over 30 years ago so

Kunan is a good system. U start trouble, u get trouble. Blood 4 Blood!
+Lindy Loo Hi, I'm looking for more information about the Kanun and its present use in Albany. Would you like to give me some information about it?
J i think you can find the book online maybe even in English.
“Kanuni i Lek Dukagjinit”
elise i can tell you all the information i will recomend you to read a very good book written on the subject by the giant of albanian literature, ismail Kadare. Read the book "the file on H" you will know everything you need....
Elise VD i can tell u some quick info BASE ones If someone kill a memeber of ur Family u have ur right to kill back its like BLOOD 4 BLOOD but if they did a mistake and they dont want to be killed they have their right to stay home otherwise if they get outside they might get killed with less words u cant go to their house and kill also is a rule u cant touch girls. Girls are free to go work shoping etc only boys have to stay home if they want to be alive Kanun says Give respect to get it back
EDIT: When i said u have ur right to kill back that doesnt mean u cant go to jail i mean KANUN gives ur right to kill back in honor to get the blood back but ofc u will go to jail for what u done
Please, Albania is only Europe in geography only, like Turkey.
Turkey has only like 2% of area in Europe.
White Guy You've clearly never been to Albania.
Lol what does that even mean? Europe is a geographical entity called a continent, and Albania is located right in the middle of that continent.
Because England is such a classy European 😂😂😂
