Ep. 53 - Albania: Europe's First Narco State & 'Gjakmarrja' Albanian Blood Feuds

PërshëndetjeThis week we’re off to ALBANIA!This episode is a little different… Georgie kicks things off by telling the complicated story of Albania as Europe's first ‘narco-state’. Kate then delves into the sad sad world of the Gjakmarrja or ‘blood feuds’ and the families left behind. Join us this episode for all of the drugs, families torn apart and thanks to Georgie, an excellent new t-shirt idea: SO MANY OPINIONS. SO LITTLE FACT.Faleminderit!Notes from this week's episode:http://www.keypictures.org/project/sisters-of-the-blood-feud/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/16/behind-the-murky-world-of-albanian-blood-feuds/https://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/witness/2017/06/sisters-blood-feud-revenge-killings-albania-170608075424669.htmlhttps://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2016/03/albania-dark-shadow-tradition-blood-feuds-160318033023140.htmlhttps://www.vice.com/en_us/article/zmpq89/the-inside-story-of-europes-first-narco-statehttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/albania-drug-cannabis-trafficking-hub-europe-adriatic-sea-a8747036.htmlhttps://www.atlasobscura.com/places/color-buildings-of-tiranahttps://www.atlasobscura.com/places/syri-i-kalter-blue-eye
