Mid'hat Bey Frashëri (also known as Lumo Skendo) (March 25, 1880, Ioannina, Ottoman Empire - October 3, 1949, New York, Long Island) was an Albanian diplomat, writer and politician.
Biography
He was the leader of the nationalist movement Balli Kombëtar during the Second World War. He was forced to flee from Albania to Italy when Enver Hoxha took power. Balli Kombëtar fought for Greater Albania. Communists of Albania broke the agreement that they had previously agreed with Balli when they had fought together against Nazi-Fascists and started to kill members of the Balli, which they had then viewed as a Fascist movement focsed primarily on crushing the Communists. Communists from Yugoslavia were directly infiltrated in Albania and influenced Albanian communists to kill members of Balli but not only them, they also killed all others that did not agree with communist ideology. Frashëri's entire library of some 20 000 volumes, the largest in Albania at that time, was confiscated by the new regime.[1] The library included significant albanological works inherited from Franz Nopcsa von Felsö-Szilvás.
