The political situation is unreasonable and out of any logical sense. But this is a spiritual rather than a political conflict. The devil does not want this country to be stable and developed and unfortunately we as a people have turned our backs to God for centuries and are still playing the devil's game bringing the worst upon ourselves.
Here is my attempt to summarize what has been happening.The socialist lost the general elections in June 2009 but never admitted this even though the elections were certified by all the international organisms. Were the elections very good or excellent? Of course, they;re not. But they were acceptable and much better than earlier ones. The socialists pursued undemocratic ways to put pressure by not participating in the parliament, obstructing any initiative and making the work of government difficult. We are now 18 months after the elections and the opposition escalated its fight against the government with the Friday protest when for 4 hours groups of angry people were hitting the police with stones and tried to enter in the prime minister offices. Three people are killed many protesters and police are injured; It is sad to sit and watch in TV angry and unreasonable people continuously hitting the police with stones and trying to forcefully enter in an important government institution while burning cars and trees around the building. It makes you feel unsafe and sad and ashamed to be an Albanian (this is what you;d hear from most of the people who watched with dismay on TV). It reminds me early 90s and 97 and brings in a feeling of hopelessness because it is now 2011 ans we thought this was the past left behind.
What happened on Friday is a no return toward the destruction of Albania unless God intervenes and sends His Spirit of peace and forgiveness. If the government resigns and the socialists get to power the message is if you lose the elections you can contest them over and over again even with violent protest until you get into power. The democrats will follow in the same footsteps and the cycle will be repeated no constructive contribution in the parliament no approval of vital laws;.no joint efforts to develop Albania and make it part of EU but only blaming and badmouthing each other. If the government does not resign, the socialists will continue with protests, the obstructive and negative approach and more aggression. At this point I am not sure what the solution is and I am sad for Albania and its people who get caught up in yet another self-destructive situation.
Why do we have this recurring problem? This is the consequence of centuries of Isl*m and decades of communism for I the LORD your God am a jealous God punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me. Exodus 20:5
Why don't you have this instability in your countries in USA and Europe (yet)?.. but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments..Exodus 20:6. Praise God for your forefathers who loved God and kept His commandments, but watch out and pray that your generation does not go away from His love and commandments.
Can Albania ever make it to stability and development with all the blessings God has provided to it?
At this point only God can make a difference. The devil is roaring to devour Albania. We need prayers to save Albania and allow it to fulfill the role God created it for. Please join in prayer for Albania specifically for Sali Berisha the Prime Minister and Edi Rama the head of the socialists and the mayor of Tirana and all their advisors and close friends. Pray that the Spirit of God will take control over their minds and hearts and lead them to the right decisions that would benefit Albania and its people. The following 3 days are vital as the socialists plan a protest on Fri in honor of the 3 victims and the democrats plan a gathering on Saturday in support of peace; meantime the international ambassadors here try to negotiate and make the two parties reason together for the best of the country.
“I urge then first of all that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” 1 Tim 2 :1-2
Pray also for the people of Albania to understand that they need to turn their face toward God and ask Him to bring righteousness, forgiveness and healing through Jesus in this wonderfully made land with so many unhealed wounds and so much potential for His Kingdom in this region and beyond. Pray also for the body of Christ in Albania to stand in prayer fighting for Albania in the spiritual realms.
