Blood Feuds still happen in this country.

Blood Feuds still happen in this country.

A blood feud consists of a long-running argument or fight, often between families or clans, in which if they hurt someone in your family, you have the right to hurt them back. In other words, you take justice in your own hands.

Sounds terrible, sadly, this is something that is still active in modern times.

In Albania, the blood feud has returned in rural areas after more than 40 years of being abolished by Albanian communists. More than 5,500 Albanian families are currently engaged in blood feuds.

There are now more than 20,000 men and boys who live under an ever-present death sentence because of blood feuds. Since 1992, at least 10,000 Albanians have been killed due to blood feuds.

Mutual vendetta may develop into a vicious circle of further killings, retaliation, counterattacks, and all-out warfare that can end in the mutual extinction of both families.

Often the original cause is forgotten, and feuds continue simply because it is perceived that there has always been a feud.
