The sad story of the journalist/ Wanderer who died from the "violence"

Journalist Agim Xhafka narrated a sad story of a 38-year-old man, Arben, who suffered from epilepsy and was homeless for months.

Xhafka confesses in his writing that although the state declared that Ben was found no signs of violence and had a natural death, the greatest violence against him was the indifference they showed to his serious condition.

He writes Ben was forgotten and the state did not ask about his plight.

" THE WANDERER...

A man died this morning on the streets of my city. His name was Arben, an epileptic, he was 38 years old. Homeless for months and wandering around the neighborhood.

Shteti deklaroi se ai nuk kishte shenja dhune, por pati vdekje natyrale. Kemi aritur në këtë derexhe që shoqëria jonë vdekjen nga e ftohta ta quajë natyrale. Krejt e zakonshme i duket këtij shteti marrja e jetës nga e ftohta, nga acari. Nga pakujdesia e atyre që na marrin taksat dhe shohin ëndrra me fitime e me udhëtime.

Beni nuk pati shenja dhune se i mjaftoi dhuna e ngricës, që i futi dorën ne grykë e në zemer dhe ia shtrëngoi aq sa ia mori frymën,ia mori dëshirat e jetës e ia përplasi në kazanet e plehrave të bashkisë.Beni pati shenja dhune,por qeverisë nuk i leverdis t'i tregojë.Se janë grushtat e indiferencës,të harresës,të mospërkujdesjes.Është arroganca e pushtetit mafioz,që vjen ne karrike nga vota e vjedhur dhe vjedh gjithë ditën e natën veç të fryjë fitimet.Arbenin e harruan, e quajtën sikur nuk ekziston.Nuk pyetën për hallet e dhimbjet e tij.

Ndaj e ftohta sa e pa jetim,pa përkujdesje,iu afrua tinëz dhe e rrëmbeu. Pa dhunë të dukshme, pa shenja,por me egërsi dhe me gëzim kriminal.

Today, Ben took the road to the cemetery. He is no longer alive, but our society is no longer alive either. He is dead, maybe even before the cold took Ben. That we are immature. We pretend to breathe and keep silent.

Ben, you survived. We are living worse because the cold has not yet taken us, it has not raised our well yet. That we live in a country where humanity has been scared by the mafia and where the homeless and the poor are called redundant, worthless. They are not called human... ", he writes./ CNA.al
