Albania after Hoxha

Introducing Alia to one of his doctors, Hoxha said: "Younger comrades, like this one, will step in."

He succeeded Hoxha as Albanian party leader in 1985. Limited external opening initially sought to preserve the system, but economic crisis and protests led to acceptance of multiparty politics. He became president in 1991 and left office in 1992.
