Fadil Nimani

Fadil Nimani (Фадил Нимани), often mistakenly cited as Fadil Limani (Фадил Лимани), (7 April 1967 - 26 May 2001), better known as Komandant Tigri, was commander in the Kosovo Liberation Army during the Kosovo War (1998-99), hence his alias.

Nimani was born in Đakovica, Yugoslavia in 1967. During the Macedonian Conflict in 2001 he was the appointed commander of the 113 Brigade of the NLA. Nimani was killed on 26 May 2001 by the Macedonian security forces during the operation for the liberation of Vaksince.

On 17 March 2006 in the village of Matejce near Kumanovo, former fighters from the NLA organised a commemoration for the Komandant Tigri as well as the other 16 NLA guerrillas that died during the battles for Vaksince. On the commemoration Fazli Veliu made a speech in which he referred to ethnic Macedonians as "Slavic-Macedonians", which is considered by the Macedonians to be an ethnic slur. The commemoration was attended by German soldiers from NATO.
