The Kimza Government (Albanian: Ceveria e Pertasheme Shkipeniis) was the first organized government to formally declare the Independence of Albania from the Ottoman Empire.[1]
For the first time since the death of Albanian national hero Skanderbeg, an organized gathering of representatives from the northern bajraks took part in the establishment of a unified government. They hailed from the following settlements: Spaç, Fan, Gojan, Orosh, Kushnen, Kthellë, Shkodër, Dibërr, Mërtur, Berish, Shalë, Shosh, Thaç, Toplanë, Theth and Nikaj.[2]
The head of the Kimza government, Arbëresh lawyer and activist Terenc Toçi, sought to stage a "revolution" uprising from north to south to "have a single spirit, a flag, simultaneity of action and discipline and to persuade the civilized world to intervene in our interests". Toçi selected the indigenous Mirditë region in order to form a national nucleus ”that would also serve as a spark for a pan-Albanian movement.[3]
The cross-regional assembly held in Fan, Mirditë on April 26, 1911, created the first government for the independence of the nation:[4]

Its leader, Terenc Toçi was subsequently shot and killed on April 14, 1945 by a decision of the special court of the communist regime for being a fascist collaborator. His remains were found on a hill in the outskirts of Tirana.[5]
