history
The first edition was published in October 1974 in both Albanian and English as an organ of the Çamen League in Chicago . 39 issues of this bilingual edition were published.
Krahu i Shqiponjës served as a platform for free democratic expression of opinion with a strong anti-communist or anti-totalitarian orientation. Their aim was to unite the Albanian political forces in emigration and to transform Albania into a free and pro-Western state. The national Albanian problems, the concerns of the Çamen as well as the problems of the Albanian communities in the diaspora were dealt with .
Since August 1995, Krahu i shqiponjës has been published from Tirana under the direction of the journalist and writer Shefki Hysa as an organ of the Çameria- based cultural society Bilal Xhaferri . Around 80 issues had been published by 2008.
