Mud Sweeter Than Honey by Margo Rejmer is a gruesome series of interviews with survivors (and family members - where no survivors exist!)- of the Sigurimi, detailing their methods and inhumane treatment of anyone who dared to think or express a bad thought about Hoxha, often using family members or neighbours to grass on them, with horrendous consequences.

I’ve been fascinated with the country for over 40 years; initially with it’s falling out with the rest of the world, its self-sufficiency, and its completely closed borders (and all the horrors that went on unseen by the outside world), to its current, modern drive towards stability, friendship, freedom and integration back into the modern world.

In 2017, catering manager Mevlan Dema and eight other Albanians were sentenced to a total of 45 years for their part in a Brighton-based drugs and money-laundering ring.

Dema was in the UK on a false Bulgarian passport and the Dema dynasty has form in the area. It is linked to gang warfare which erupted in Hove after a long-running feud in May 2004 when Altin Molita, 23, an Albanian club doorman, was murdered.
