The culture of violent conflict resolution in Albania and the fading role of the Police

From Neta Fero

In Albania, the culture of resolving conflicts with violence remains a significant problem. Although the country has taken steps towards modernization, in many areas of Albania, violence is still seen as the main means of resolving disputes.

This culture is closely related to concepts such as honor and revenge, which continue to influence how people perceive justice and self-defense.

Meanwhile, the role of the police in preventing and dealing with these conflicts seems weak and ineffective. In many cases, law enforcement either arrives late or is unable to successfully intervene in conflict resolution.

As a result, citizens often feel compelled to take justice into their own hands, reinforcing the cycle of violence.

This combination of a violent culture and a justice system that leaves something to be desired creates a dangerous situation for Albanian society, where the conflict can escalate irreversibly and without any effective intervention by the state.

Not far from yesterday, near the Teg roundabout, a "rubbing" of cars between two girls became the cause of a big fight.

Due to a wrong passing, two girls have "rubbed" their luxury vehicles, more specifically an "Audi A8" and a "Benz", where as a result, the mirror of the "Audi A8" type vehicle was broken.

The two girls got out of their vehicles and argued with each other, but they didn't stop there. They also called their friends through their cell phones, who, after arriving at the scene, brutally assaulted each other.

The first to arrive at the scene was Fatjon Dauti, who then had a conflict with the relative of the other driver, citizen Marjo Barami.

They hit each other with hard objects and as a result, Fatjon Dauti was injured and was sent to the Trauma hospital to receive medical help. It is learned that he received wounds on his face and head.

The police reported that they also found a firearm at the scene, which belonged to Fatjon Dauti.

Both girls found support in these two boys who will undoubtedly receive punishment because of the way they "resolved" the conflict.

At these moments the question arises: Why didn't they call the police? So the damaged car benefited from the insurance, but they preferred to resort to physical violence? In such cases, the policy of our country remains "barefoot" along with the weight of the name it has.
