Abedin Rexha was a fighter of the first ranks of the Kosovo Liberation Army, brave and fearless until death, which is why his comrades called him "Sandokan". He was born on July 8, 1969 in Vajnik, municipality of Skenderaj.

He attended primary school in Turiçec, secondary school in Skenderaj, and continued his studies at the Faculty of Mining and Metallurgy in Mitrovica. During his secondary education in Skenderaj, he came into contact with illegal activists. At that time, he was associated with Jakup Nura and Nuhi Geci, with whom he was already organized and often distributed tracts and posters, calling for resistance against the Serbo-Slavic invaders.

Since the invader had tracked down Abedin's activity, in 1992, he went into exile. In the fall of 1996, he returned to Kosovo, charged with certain duties and held a meeting with commander Adem Jashari. He entered and left Kosovo many times. On May 6, 1997, Abedini, together with Fehmi Lladrovci, Xhevë Lladrovci, Luan Haradinaj, Ilaz Kodra, Ramiz Lladrovci, etc., crossed the Albanian Alps. On the way, this group of fighters is ambushed by Serbian forces and after a fierce fight and the heroic fall of Luan Haradinaj, they are forced to withdraw from the border.

Two months later, in July 1997, Abedin Rexha together with Adrian Krasniq, Ilaz Kodra, Ilir Konushevci and other freedom fighters managed to infiltrate Kosovo and worked tirelessly to expand and consolidate the ranks of the KLA.

On November 25, 1997, the Serbian police went to Vajnik to arrest Abedi Rexha-Sandokanin. Abedini with his two brothers, Brahim and Afrim, and other fighters had faced the Serbian gangs and attacked them. In this attack, two Serbian policemen were liquidated, while during this fight, the Serbian forces injured Baki Krasniqi, 11 years old.

On November 26, 1997, the legendary commander of the KLA, Adem Jashari, ordered to ambush the Serbian forces at the place called Klisyra in Rezalle e Re. Along with Adem Jashari and Abedin Rexha, Mujë Krasniqi, Ilaz Kodra, Nuhi Geci and many brave fighters were lined up in positions.

The enemy's plan was beginning to be put into action. However, in the early hours of the day, the Serbian forces found themselves surrounded. During the withdrawal, the Serbs had beaten to death the teacher Halit Geci, in the yard of the Llausha school. And, on November 28, 1997, on the occasion of the burial of the teacher Halit Geci in Llaushë, Mujë Krasniqi with his friends Rexhep Selim and Daut Haradinaj, being armed, publicly announced the beginning of the liberation war in Kosovo, appearing before the gathered mass with the uniform of the Kosovo Liberation Army.

During 1998, the Liberation War continued to expand rapidly, and Abedin Rexha could not contain his anger against the occupier, who mercilessly massacred children, women, men and the elderly and burned the houses of Albanians.

At the beginning of August 1998, the General Staff of the KLA appointed Abedin Rexha as Commander of Brigade 112 "Arben Haliti" in the Operational Area of ​​Drenica.

During the months of August-September 1998, Commander "Sandokani" fought fearlessly in many battlefields. And precisely at the peak of the large-scale exterminating offensives by the Serbian forces, in all the operational areas of the KLA, and especially in the ZO of Drenica on October 8, 1998, the commander Abedin Rexha - "Sandokani", was killed in the forests of the village of Kllodernica of Skëndaraj.

Abedin Rexha left behind his wife and two children: Sokol and Selveta. His heroism has been immortalized in many articles in our press, in songs and poems, while the school of Turiçec proudly bears his name.
