The state police has identified 200 families that are in blood feud in
the districts of Shkoder, Puke and Malesi e Madhe, where 116 people are
isolated in their homes, according to the Criminal Information
Processing Office.
For the first time, the State Police is producing an official document which shows the blood feud situation.
This document identifies that there are 48 families in Shkoder, with 116 members, 21 of which are children who cannot even go to school, while two young students have dropped out of the university.
The Police database notes that there are 47 families in blood feud for the Puke District, with most of them in communes. The document received by Top Channel identifies the family data of both families that are in a blood feud, the age of the males, the time when the feud started and the cause.
According to the analysis, Shkoder District is ranked first, with 122 families, and all the young children that do not go to school come from this district, together with the two students that have quit their studies.
The Free Thought Forum, with the support of the US Embassy, produced the first database three years ago, concluding that the Shkoder district had 84 isolated families.
The production of this study by the Shkoder Police seems a good sign that the state has finally taken the blood feud problem seriously.
