Following the

Jordan Misja, Ivo Jovanov, Vojin Dragović, Petar Bulatović and Vasil Shanto.[1] The Shkodër group was led by Shanto and Qemal Stafa.[3] The other organization, established in Korçë (Korçë group), was united into one on November 8, 1941, in Tirana, at the house of Bojko Lazarov, hence forming the Communist Party of Albania.[1] In 1942, he was chosen as a member of the regional committee for Tirana and appointed commander of guerilla units. Enver Hoxha was appointed the Party leader in order to include the majority Muslim population.[1]

Kushi was sent[

Prokletije, including Kushi, was included in Đurica Labović's Lučonoša sa Prokletija (1985).[5]

The Albanian fascist regime sentenced communist fighters to death for treachery and unrest.[6] In Tirana, Qemal Stafa,[6] and later Kushi, Sadik Stavileci and Xoxi Martini were surrounded and killed by carabinieri on 10 October 1942.[7][8] Their house on the Kodra Kuqe quarter was surrounded and a fight ensued for 6 hours, with tanks forcing them out; Kushi stormed out and killed several carabinieri, then ran out of bullets and jumped onto the tank and was killed.[7]

After the war, he was proclaimed a National Hero. In Albania, many streets, quarters, schools, sport institutions and others were named after him. In Tirana, a monument was erected in his honour. An Albanian documentary about him, Vojo Kushi (1969), was made.

Later Hoxha imprisoned Vojo's brother Marko and his family in southern Albania as part of his party purges.[1]
