Sadik Rama Gjurgjeviku (1879 – 1944) was a Kosovo Albanian kaçak guerrilla fighter who fought against the Serbian annexation of Kosovo in 1912. Following the Ottoman defeat, he continued to participate along Isa Boletini and Bajram Curri in the national revolt of 1913–14 in Llapushe. He joined the kaçak guerrillas in 1919 with support from the Committee for the National Defence of Kosovo. He fought alongside Azem Bejta during his lifetime. At the start of World War II, he moved to Albania. His son, Uke Sadiku, continued the fight against the Yugoslav Partisans in Llapushe with Ymer Berisha, Marije Shllaku, and Qasim Bajraktari.[1][2]
Military activity
In 1899, Sadik Rama, along with other fighters, participated in the National front of Peja, at the kulla of Haxhi Zeka. During the revolts of 1906–08 against the Ottomans. They continued to fight in 1912 against Serbo-Montenegrin forces, as well as against Italians in the 1920s. Rama played a major role in the Albanian national cause together with Hasan Prishtina. The prime minister of Serbia, Nikola Pašić, planned to end the Albanian revolts and sent large sums of money to Rama, asking him to surrender to which he refused. Serbian-Montenegrin forces eventually began attacking villages in Kosovo and massacred many Albanian civilians in 1919. Eventually Sadik Rama became old and died peacefully in his bed.[3]
Family
His son, Uke Rama, was killed fighting Italian forces during World War II.[4][5]
Legacy
The Rama family remains as a patriotic symbol of Albanian liberty and nationalism. In 1998, the kulla of the Rama family was constructed as a memory.[6]
