Those that live in this village work in the mines nearby, in the refinery and or in surface mining.  This is the main square of Wangjiazhai village with some of the coal miners returned from work.

  • Widows of war in Kosovo. After the war, some of villages like Meje have no men left. Many widows have no means of sustainment. Ngos assisted the widows in rebuilding their homes. However, the Ngos support has diminished to null after they have been moved to Iraq and Afghanistan. This decision has left the widows in unfinished homes and no one to turn to for any support.

  • Skenderaj in Kosovo is the most destroyed area from the war. The war started in this region and it ended here. It has had the majority of numbers of civilian killings and some villages like Meje have no men left: there are only widows with their children.<br />
Nowadays, the situation of the widows looks even more perilous after international organisations are slowly moved from the Balkans. Some of the widows live in homes that were slowly being rebuilt with the aid of international aid organizations but now left half built. Many of the widows are still homeless. The luckier ones take shelter with relatives but many live in very devastating conditions: in tiny rooms with a little stove, mattress on the floor to sleep and to sit on.

  • Some of the international aid organisations like Medicos del Mundo opened workshops rooms for widows to use to sew and knit and make clothing that they could sell. A woman says that there is more comfort in being together with other women living similar circumstances in making an income as generally most women in Kosovo know how to sew or knit.

  • Widows of war receive 60Euros for maintenance. With this meagre income they can hardly make ends meet. If they do have sons, they normally take charge in the upkeeping of the family with their mum.  Ngos like Medicos del Mundo have opened workshops rooms where the widows can engage in creating house wares like cloths, towels, etc. by knitting and sewing. They then sell their products. A woman says that overall there is more conformt in being together than in making an income as generally most women in Kosovo know how to sew or knit.

  • The Meja massacre was the mass execution of at least 377 Kosovo Albanian civilians of whom 36 were under 18 years old. It was committed by Serbian police and Yugoslav Army forces in the Reka Operation which began after the killing of six Serbian policemen by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). The executions occurred on 27 April 1999 in the village of Meja near the town of Gjakova, during the Kosovo War. The victims were pulled from refugee convoys at a checkpoint in Meja and their families were ordered to proceed to Albania. Men and boys were separated and then executed by the road.[2][3] It is one of the largest massacres in the Kosovo War.[4] Many of the bodies of the victims were found in the Batajnica mass graves. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia has convicted several Serbian army and police officers for their involvement.

  • In the outskirts of Skenderaj, I visited this lady who has 5 children to fend off by herself after her husband was taken away by the serbian army and she has never seen him again. She feels fortunate that she has some land and is able to feed her children in this way.

  • The majority of refugees that arrive in the Uk are offered provisional housing, vouchers to buy food and are not allowed to seek employment.  This situation meant to be temporary often takes years to settle.  Many kosovan families even after years do not know whether they have their right to stay permanently in the UK.  Refugees see themselves as living in a limbo, unable to look for work and to move freely.  Often the bond between their community is the only attachment that they form, partly because of their common plight and partly because of a need to ascertain their cultural identity.
