Ali Pasha, the Albanian governor of the Ottoman Pashalik of Janina used modern Greek as the official language in administration and in his correspondence, since the territory he ruled was/2⬇️ Image
🧶2/ predominantly inhabited by Greeks (Ali Pasha was himself fluent in Greek). He also employed at his court many Greeks as secretaries, physicians mercenaries e.t.c.. In 1799, the British William Eton visited Janina and met in person Ali Pasha.

As a follow-up to my article on the #WorldCup2022 for @PillarCatholic, a couple of notes on religious aspects of this tournament.
pillarcatholic.com/world-cup-feve…
1. This is the first time the World Cup is being played in a Muslim country, and only the second outside of the traditionally Christian world. The first was South Korea & Japan in 2002.
2. 2002 also marked the furthest a traditionally Muslim country ever progressed in the World Cup, with #Turkey placing 3rd, after beating South Korea in a very exciting game.

I love history, and #Cameroon history was my favourite at College.
 
Here are five reasons how the #USA and #NATO wrote the history/rule book that #Russia used to invade #Ukriane:
1. Invade another country on the basis of protecting a people from bloodshed and ethnic cleansing, i.e. #Albanians – NATO and the 1999 Kosovo war. Russia claims to protect the people of #Donbass and #Luhansk. A report on the war cited this about NATO intervention:
“The Commission concludes that the NATO military intervention was illegal but legitimate. It was illegal because it did not receive prior approval from the United Nations Security Council”. Read more on the report: reliefweb.int/sites/reliefwe…

#Albanians terrorists started the war.
They killed those #Albanians who opposed it.
They exposed civilians by hiding in villages & using its inhabitants as human shields.
They used their casualties for foreign media, the more, the better for the propaganda.
What did you expect?😏
2. Ultimately, your #terrorists called the cavalry to help them win an otherwise unwinnable war.
Weak & disgusting as a whole.
10 times more #Albanians died out of it.
But thousand of #Serbs died also.
Then, your terrorists ethnic-cleansed #Kosovo in peace time.
Whose genocide?😏 Image
3. We call peace-time the post 10/06/1999 period after the #Kumanovo agreement.
And yet, between 10/06/99 & 31/12/2000, 860+ civilians were killed, & 425+ disappeared, per the HLC list endorsed by Pristina.
That was also a war.
A war against disarmed civilians.
Under KFOR's eyes.

Let's start a #Serbian & #Yugoslav map thread.
Here I'll share the best material I compiled over 3 years about the #History of #Serbia & #Yugoslavia.
Let's start with a map of companies implanted in SFR.Yugoslavia.🏭
57 are detailed in the link provided.👇

2. Here comes a #Yugoslav map for foodies.
Unlike for companies, the destruction of #Yugoslavia didn't change the local specialties, which remain the delight of all locals & visitors.
#Meatlovers are like fish in water there, & back in #France I dearly miss ćevap & pljeskavica!🥺 Image
3. Here are 2 pseudo #tourism-maps of #Yugoslavia, respectively made by locals & #Americans.
I wish we helped, as requested, to conserve & protect this #beauty.🕯️
As a citizen of a #NATO country, & especially as a #French, I'm sorry we didn't, even if most of this still exists.🙏 ImageImage

Let's be clear..
#Croats, #Bošniaks, #Albanians & Montenegrin #DPS activists who cry about election result in #Montenegro & call #Serbs fascists are revisionists & ideological heirs of Nazi supporters in Balkans, who formed SS divisions & exterminated Serbs, Jews & Roma in WW2.😏 ImageImageImageImage
2. Fact that some Atlantist, #NATO & EU mouthpieces are upset by this result lies in the fact that NATO turned into a new Axis in the 90s & resurrected the Ottoman, Austrian, Italian, German & Komintern politics in the Yugoslav #Balkans:
Foster divisions & conquer divided people. ImageImageImage
3. Milo is an opportunist who changed master w/ the wind.
Once favorable to unified #Serbia, he turned his jacked to save his ass & benefit from the situation.
Like in #Kosovo, #NATO would support mobsters in #Montenegro to break-up #Yugoslavia, no matter the cost for the locals. Image

3. These 8 covers show pro-Serbian feeling & encouragements pushed in #Paris during #WW1.
At the time, #France was trying to obtain the establishment of a #Balkan front in order to help #Serbia, pincer #Quadruplice & alleviate Western front.
80,000 French died there.
And we won.. ImageImageImageImage

Around 3000 BCE in eastern #Europe, a Proto-Balto-Slavic #language started to diverge from #ProtoIndoEuropean.

The #Slavic branch of the #IndoEuropean #languages began about 2,000 years later when Proto-Slavic deviated from Proto-Balto-Slavic.

As the #Slavic-speaking area expanded during the first millennium CE (striped area on map), Proto-Slavic transitioned to Common Slavic.

Around the year 1000 CE #CommonSlavic began to split into the South, West, and East branches to which all modern #Slavic #languages belong.
