By Gjet Kadeli
The fifth part
Memorie.al/ publishes some archival documents issued by the Authority for the Information of the Files of the former State Security, where there is a voluminous file (form processing file and investigative and judicial file) in charge of Gjet Kadel, originally from the village of Bulshar of Oroshi in Mirdita and residing in Bushnesh and Mamurras in Kurbin, former political prisoner in the communist regime of Enver Hoxha and his successor, Ramiz Alia, who spent a full 16 years in communist camps and prisons, such as in Spaç, Burrel , etc. As we will see from the documents that are in the file in charge of Gjet Kadel, which is published for the first time by Memorie.al, the surveillance and pursuit of him began in 1957, when he was 17 years old, with the information report of the State Security officer, Fahri Kraja, (based on the data of the Security associate with the nickname “Dylli i Bardhë”, with the approval of the Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Kruja district, lieutenant colonel Muhedin Këxhalliu) , has continued even during the period that he was in camps and prisons, such as in Spaç, where after the revolt of May 1973, Gjeta was re-sentenced, as he was the main ideator for raising the flag without the communist star, continuing in Burrel prison, with the reports-information of the Operative Worker, Piro Nuredini, etc., about Gjeta’s conversations with other prisoners of that prison, such as: Pjetër Arbnori, Daut Gumeni, Abdulla Sallaku, Spartak Ngjela, Avni Aliko, Luan Burimi, Çaush Çoku, Kapllan Resuli, B come Gjonzeneli, Bashkim Shehu, etc. The surveillance and follow-up of Gjet Kadel continued even after his release from prison in 1987, continuing until January 1991, with the collapse of the communist regime, when his file was finally closed and archived in the secret archive of the former State Security. In the same way, an important place in the said files is also occupied by letter correspondence of Gjeta and his family, with their father, Pjetër Kadeli, former soldier of the Monarchy of Zogu, who had blown up the prison cells of of the Internal Branch of Rrëshen, stayed for some time in the mountains on the run and then in 1949, took his son, John, and escaped to Yugoslavia and then to the USA, where he stayed as a political immigrant until the beginning of the 90s, when he returned permanently to Albania. During this period of 35 years, that Gjet Kadeli has been followed and monitored by the State Security, 33 associates of the State Security have been engaged and activated towards him, who have given their reports, starting from “Dilli i bardhe” in 1957- until the “Mountain Swallow” in 1990, which will be reflected in full, as they are in the relevant files.

Report dated 24.1.1969
The source announces that he met with Gjet Kadel, among other things; he tells him that; has your father or brother, who is a fugitive in America, brought you any letters? Yes, said Gjeta, it’s been three weeks since I received a letter, and it told me that I’m fine and very comfortable, likewise, they also sent me ALL, but they returned it to me, and so far, they have returned it to me over 300 dollars, likewise, father writes to me to arrange a pair of houses, with seven rooms, with geometry.
Soon, we will join, father says, in conversation, Gjeta says, that; I have no reason to interrupt the conversation with my father, because I have to become a good man, with the Party and with Enver Hoxha, at this time, he says that; Peter has no way to come and join, as long as this party is unfaithful.
Then, Gjeta said that; this party doesn’t have long, he says, do you know anything, or is he talking in vain, that this government has also shot my mother. I found said; for sure, I don’t know anything, but they don’t do all these military preparations in vain, but they see something and do it, these people lie to their minds that they will win, but they never win.
One day, Gjeta was at Dod Pjetri’s house, in Delbnisht village, together with him, on the wall, Doda had a picture of his friend Enver, who was hugging a child. Dod Frrok Prenga, from this village, said: “He loves children very much.” I found that; these children, this one takes, for form, to look like a leader, the conversation did not continue for a long time, only family conversations took place.
“Çezma e Trojës”
Task:
Meet with Gjet Kadel and in the conversation, tell him that; you are surprising me with these conversations that you are telling me, that we have said a lot to us, so to us, and others, but nothing has been realized until today, these have won and are winning, no matter how much we say that these they are good, these are good and they are getting stronger every day, apart from these, in conversations, he repeats, questions about his father and his brother who has escaped, what he says about them, and others.
Giver’s explanation:
Gjeta is in a hostile position, although he has approached our bodies to cooperate, but he does so in order to lose his tracks. The data of this B.p. is true and must be trusted.
Operational measures:
In the direction of Gjeta, strict control should be established in order to find out his activity and see that he is not the only one here, but there are also other collaborators, such as Nik Deda and Kristaq Lena, who are all being followed by our bodies. .
He should be kept in a formal relationship, but the tasks should not be given to him, because even the data he has given are only history. B.p., who act in his direction, are good, but be directed carefully so as not to burn, because Gjeta, it is refined, for these, a line of conduct should be drawn up.

Then, Gjeta said that; in Albania, only the Political Bureau lives well, while the people suffer, they eat at the expense of the people, he continued, saying that our country has a bad relationship with the countries of Europe and the Balkans, that no one supports us we are left only with China, with the 700,000 soldiers we have, Albania is not supported, Yugoslavia and Greece each have 1,000,500 soldiers, who are attacking our country, immediately occupying it, we only have chatter, that we do nothing, and do not we have nothing in hand.
After finishing this conversation, Gjeta said that; this protection that we do, in our country, is very difficult, but abroad, as Nik Deda told me, who was a fugitive and came to Albania and is now in Mamurras, that life is good abroad, with food and luxury, there is plenty. Nika and Gjeta, they have company and constantly meet each other.
Continuing the conversation, Gjeta told him that; if you want, I can find you a rifle and carry it with a permit, and I am finding this, because I am connected with the Security, with Gjolek Alina, in Tirana, I like to go abroad, to work and as soon as I get out, I will do my job, therefore, if I find a weapon for you too, come with me, let’s work together with the Security, at this time, he replied, that what you are saying to me, get it, I don’t want to listen to them again, because you told me one more time, that you know very well, since this government, three of my brothers have been killed and shot, and what should I do with them. I found said to this, that; I have faith in you, without telling him, because if it was so, we were not dating at all.
Continuing the conversation, Gjeta said that; some time ago, Gjon Buna came to my house, and during the conversation he asked me how the X situation is and do you think we will have anything to change the situation, I said Gjeta, I answered you, saying that; those who have led you to learn from me, go and learn from someone else, therefore, where you came from, go, John, I had a friend, but now I do not want him. Also, Gjeta said that; Pjetër Bardhoku and Asllan Milla work with the Security and speak badly about them as people who have betrayed the society; they want to take people by the neck with useless talk and lies.
From there, Gjeta continued, that from the point of view of the economy, I am bad, but a few days ago, I borrowed 5000 lek from a friend and I will pay this off, for 5 years, with a profit, because otherwise, I have no way to support the family. He says that, I found it at home, he does private work, he makes frames and sells them, he does this with the material of the cooperative, who told him, I took the material and I work at home, I found it in the cooperative, he works 10 days and the rest, it does, up and down.

If the word comes out, saying that I work with the Security, say that I don’t need these jobs, you know that, and don’t sell us your mind, that you, I only talk and nothing else, therefore stay wise in your house, because you were burned once by these.

The source informs that, on 11.2.1969, Gjet Kadeli told him, on his way from the Agricultural Cooperative to Mamurras, that people today have become pehlivans, they go to the wire, so you have to be careful, get to know the other person well, then to be connected, because there was a man in the Church of Shëna Ndojt, whose name was Zef, and this man spoke, but I have the conviction that he was connected to the Security, likewise, Ali Zenel Dervishi is also connected to the Security, from Bushneshi, who also burned the mosque of Spërdhet, he must have burned this, according to their orders.
In the conversation, Geta told him that; I am now trying to arrange a bride for Gjon Vat Hoti, from Mamurrasi, who has been in prison and has recently been released, to whom I will give the sister of a friend of mine, who has was in Tirana and now they have interned him in Berat.

Also, in conversations with Gjeta, for all of those we mentioned above, talk about each one, what Gjeta means to them.

Giver’s explanation:
Data of B.p. it is true, this is also confirmed by other sources. Gjeta knows many people who are suspicious and have been in prisons, together with them, he develops hostile activity. His interest in marrying Gjon Vata is special and this should be seen carefully. Memorie.al
