Albania's children of blood feuds

World Update

Available for over a year

Albanian teacher Liljana Luani takes ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Andrew Hosken to visit one of her pupils in an isolated corner of High Albania. Niko, who is 13, is under threat of death because of a family blood feud that began before he was even born. Dozens of families in the northern Shkodra region live in virtual self-imposed house arrest in fear of their lives from a centuries-old tradition of taking revenge that still persists.
