Manjani: Yuri Kim was both an ambassador and a speculator

By Ylli Manjani

Reflection..

When I criticized Yuri Kim while she was here in office, you called us "anti-American" or "anti-reform." I never cursed her, but I criticized her as much as I could for being a lame ambassador.

A speculator and obvious abuser of her state duty, to the detriment of Albania.

"Manjani attacks the ambassador...", was the headline of every news. They almost made me look like an anti-American terrorist. Hell, according to the Americans, criticism here is called an attack!!! Even when she is right, they still call it an attack. Pffff.

Today, when even the Americans themselves are criticizing it, even labeling it as "the corrupt state of the autocrat Edi Rama", where did Americanism go?!

I am honestly outraged at how it is possible for Albanians to engage in debates with Albanians, to the point of divisive arguments, over a foreign ambassador. Even if he/she is not a speculator like Yuri Kim, how can we engage in debates with each other?!

How is it possible that in the name of Americanism we agree with speculator officials from another country and fall into the hands of Albanians who we ourselves elect here by vote?!

How can we, in the name of Americanness, fall short of our country and each other?!

Come on, let's debate about our affairs as Albanians with Albanians, because that's the only way Albania will benefit!

The same logic applies, at least to me, to Trump's Americans.

Trump belongs to America, Albanians, not to us!

Do you have any thoughts or ideas about Edi Rama?! What about the stifling political crisis in the country?! What about the misgovernance that only prolongs over the years, just like oppression?!

If not, write a solidarity post for Yuri Kim, if you are a man or woman who is serious about public speaking!

Give some meaning to those idiotically positive words you said to the speculator Yuri!

Come on, bye!
