The purpose of this article is to explain the truth of the escape on the mountain of Mons. Dr. Zef Oroshit, from the way it was done, seemed very unbelievable. Throwing various hypotheses, even up to the mudslinging of Dom Zef Oroshi. The history and vicissitudes of the life of Mons. Dr. Zef Oroshit, born in Kaftall i Oroshit, Mirdita, in the distant 1912, as a contemporary of many decisive events of the Albanian nation, until he closed his eyes in 1989, should be part of our historiography, his activity and contribution his national, must be written in golden letters on the altar of the Nation, never to be forgotten.
The advent of communism
The victory of communism in 1944 in Albania would be the biggest suicide that the Albanians did to themselves, for those who accepted it. Dom Zef Oroshi is one of those people who never agreed with the victory of the communists, he did not accept the victory and power of the communists either in his homeland or in the United States of America. At the beginning of the 50s, Dom Zefi was quite active in the Mirdita area, this was the harshest period of state repression against the enemies of the government.
As a staunch anti-communist, he remained loyal to his country and religion. The State Security was exerting a great pressure on the civilian population, since the Anglo-American initiative to overthrow communism in Albania had influenced the class war within the country to be more severe, specifically the war against the enemies of power. , who since 1945, had filled prisons and internment camps, being tortured in the most inhumane ways similar to the camps of Nazism, and with their methods.
In addition to his religious duty, Dom Zefi, seeing every day what was done to his people during the day, chose to be their ally. He made efforts for the uprising, but without success, since the communists had already prepared the ground and the people, to discover the activity of the anti-communists. His activity caught the attention of the State Security and Enver Hoxha's government, demanding his arrest, at any cost.
Without the subjugation of the North, specifically Mirdita, the communists were clear that they could not have full power. In a circular that Bishop Bernardin Shllaku sends to the dioceses (written under torture, by the Security), it is shown what a stir Dom Zefi's escape had made and not only the Security was looking for him, but a search commission was also set up, consisting of by the Dean of Tirana, Dom Mark Dushi, and the Diocesan Administrator of Lezha, Dom Ndoc Sahatçija.
Even Dom Ndoc Sahatçija himself, in November 1952, took the road to the North of Albania, to look for it himself! (Referred from the book of Dom Markus Ë. Peters, 'Confrontations of the history of the Catholic Church in Albania 1919-1996').
About the escape of Dom Zefi, it was written in the studies "Docs of the Dictatorship" by the researcher Pjetër Pepa and in the monograph, "Mons. Dr. Zef Oroshi - A life fused for religion and homeland", of the researcher and Secretary of the III League of Prizren, Mr. Tomë Mrijaj (USA) and in the work of Nikollë Melyshi, "Historical Events, to feel, to see and to live".
The moment of the escape of Mons. Dr. Zef Oroshit, has become a legend, but to make it real and not to further mythologize with these facts, I had a conversation with the grandson of Mons. Dr. Oroshit, Prend Gjokën, who told me the truth, how Dom Zef Oroshi had escaped arrest and hid in the mountains, until he left first to Europe and then to the promised land, the USA.
America became the second homeland for him and his activity, there he left his mark with the establishment of the First Albanian Catholic Church, this shows that he served his homeland better, since Albania turned into a big prison for intellectuals and suppressed not only the desires to be educated, but also suppressed and imprisoned thoughts, to be expressed and to reach life.
He (Prend Gjoka), confesses that his aunt (Dom Zefi's sister, Lukja, who experienced the ordeal in prisons and internment camps, and after the fall of communism, lived in her nephew's house, until the day she closed her eyes) had was the last person that Dom Zefi had met, before escaping to the mountain.
But how did the event happen?
It was January 1952 (the year is debatable, it could be 1951), Dom Zefi, as the parish priest of Ungrejt, was going to conduct the Sunday Mass in the "Saint Mary Magdalene" Church. The village church was 50 meters away from the cell where he lived.
In Kashnjet and in the village of Ungrej, as well as the surrounding villages, they enjoyed respect for the priest and it is to the credit of the village of Ungrej that they made Dom Zefi's escape so that he did not fall into the hands of the Security, who did their best to inform Dom Zefi that the church was surrounded by the Security forces.
The arrest order had come from Mehmet Shehu and the Security forces were waiting for the mass to end and the priest to come out last, to arrest him, and they watched the exit of the people from the main door. The plan was for him to be arrested as the people were leaving the church and for Dom Zefi to be arrested, so that he could not retaliate.
Dom Zefi shows that he does not feel well and quietly leaves the mass and leaves the secret door behind the Church, and goes to the cell, which was above the Church, and meets the sister who served him, Luke.
Ndërkohë që ajo gatuante dreken, dëgjon Dom Zefin që e thërret:-“Luke, Luke unë ika”, koha nuk i premtoj që të përshëndetej më tej, dhe Lukja duke e kuptuar situatën, e sheh Dom Zefin që kapërcen murin rrethues, rreth 2 metra të lartë, për të humbur gjurmët, në pyllin me gështenja.
Në këtë kohë, ajo është kujtuar, që të marri pardesynë dhe ja ka hedhur matanë murit, duke i thënë -“Paç Zotin me vedi”. Ndërkohë populli në kishë, po priste përfundimin e predikimit të priftit.
Dhe panë që diçka nuk shkonte dhe prifti nuk po dilte tek elteri, duke qëndruar dhe pas orës 12:00, ku pretendohej që mesha të përfundonte. Në këtë kohë, forcat e Sigurimit të Shtetit, dyshuan se pse populli, nuk po dilte nga Kisha! Kështu ata vendosin të hyjnë në Kishë dhe ngelën të befasuar, kur nuk kanë gjetur priftin aty.
Populli e kuptoj që Sigurimi kishte ardhur për arrestimin e Dom Zefit dhe ky ishte arratisur. Pasi Sigurimi bëri një kontroll të shpejt të kishës, u nisën për tek Qela, aty pyetën Luken, e cila i jep përgjigje se: -“Dom Zefi po jep meshë”, – mbyll rrëfimin e tij, nipi i Dom Zefit, Prend Gjoka.
Dom Zefi në mal, bashkohet me grupet antikomuniste, ku do qëndronte për tetë muaj, deri sa kaloi në Kosovë e cila, ishte pjesë e Federatës Jugosllave, me gjithë vështirësitë dhe i plagosur, kalon në Mitrovicë e, nga aty së bashku me Atë Daniel Gjeçajn, O.F.M, At Ambroz Martinin, O.F.M, dhe Nikollë Kimzen, pas garancive që i dhanë Dera e Gjomarkut e, personalisht Kapidan Ndoi, shkojnë në Itali.
Nga aty, në vitet ’60-të, Mons. Oroshi, niset drejt Shteteve të Bashkuara të Amerikës. Për veprimtarinë në male të Dom Zef Oroshit, na jep të dhëna Bep Kuqani, ish-i burgosur politik për shumë vite, në një shkrim të botuar në vitin 2009, i cili thotë:
– “E tash në lidhje me nji shënim të Z. Ndue Melyshi, citue në faqen 53, ku thuhet: ‘Meqenëse ishte Komitet klandestin, nuk mund të zgjidhej kryetari me vota të lira të popullit, prandaj anëtarët në brendësinë e Komitetit, caktojshin nji kryetar…”, dëshiroj të plotësoj këtë mendim, tue shtue, se; ‘në brendësinë e këtij Komiteti’, kje zgjedhë si Kryetar Dom Zef Oroshi dhe Sekretar, Jak Perjaku, i cili, kje vra në mal, në përpjekje me Forcat e Ndjekjes të Sigurimit.
Këtë ma ka thanë përveç të tjerëve, që do t’i përmendi ma poshtë, edhe vetë i vëllai: Gjon Perjaku, që u kap n’atë përpjekje, i plagosun randë dhe me të cilin kam ndejtë në burgun e Burrelit. Veç kësaj, kam pasë rast me njohë personalisht edhe katër anëtarë të këtij Komiteti, nga të cilët për Karlo Çoben, avokat, (i biri i Ndoc Çobës), që ka kenë Kryetar i Këshillit Antifashist Nacional Çlirimtar dhe Sulë Hafizin, Kryemyfti i Lezhës, nuk e kam ditë se ka kenë Antar i Komitetit të Maleve; ndërsa për Haki Bushatin, i vëllai i ish–Kryeministrit Maliq Bushati, që u pushkatue bashkë me At Anton Harapin, O.F.M, dhe Lef Nosin e Ndrek Kakarriqin, e kam dijtë dhe, edhe këta më kanë thane, se; “kena pasë për Kryetar Dom Zef Oroshin’.
I only knew Haki Bushati for a short period of time, in the prison of Tirana; while I have known Ndreka since I was a teenager, that he was a teacher at Saverian College, president of the Association "Don Bosco District" (created by Father Pjetër Meshkalla); I spent time in Burrel prison, after serving 17 years as a member of that Committee, we arrested him in Lezha, just a few months after he started working as a lawyer. We continued our friendship even after leaving prison, until the day he died.
(...) About Dom Zef Oroshi, this should also be known: From the day of his escape, when he took off his veladon and went to the mountains, until he fled to Yugoslavia, the inhabitants of Mirdita and the Lezha highlands have known him more strongly than a priest , as the Chairman of the 'Mountains Committee', as the organizer of the 'Retribution Squads', as a very brave fighter and as an anti-communist, they decide' - writes in his article, Bep Red.
Mons. Dr. is laid to rest in the United States of America, and there is a discussion about the return of the remains to the homeland, but the US diaspora and his friends were of the opinion that - "He made history there and should continue to rest there." calm"./ Memorie.al
