Sali Butka (1852-1938) was an Albanian nationalist [1] responsible for the attack against Moscopole in 1916.[2]
Butka became the commnader of various Albanian nationalist irregular bands and initiated armed guerilla operations in 1906 in regions of modern southern Albania, which were under Ottoman control that time.[3] His guerilla activities continued the next years and especially in the Balkan Wars (1912-1913) and World War I (1914-1918). During the Balkan Campaign of WWI, several bands of Albanian Tosks and Ghegs supported with their activity the armed operations of the Central Powers in the region.[4] Forces led by Sali Butka attacked successfully Moscopole in 1916. After the attack the town started declining.[2]
In 1920 he became one of the delegates of the city of Korcë to the Albanian National Congress of Lushnjë.[2]
Sali Butka during his guerrila campaigns composed revolutionary poems that combined of naturalistic texts with nationalistic themes in a form of folk poetry.[5]
Controversy
Butka's personality has created a ideological dillema between homogeneity and heterogeneity myths in the pluralistic society of Post-Communist Albania: while on specific Albanian textbooks he is considered a national hero, by some Aromanian cycles he is considered a notorious criminal.[2]
