What is "keshilla"

Këshilla (literally meaning "Council"; ) was a local administration introduced in Thesprotia region in Greece, in 1942, by the Italian occupation forces. Italy's aim was to annex this region under Occupied Albania, but German authorities did not support this action and put it under the control of Athens. Since portions of Epirus were annexed to Greece in 1913 Cham Albanians saw an opportunity to reverse the annexation and join Albania under the Italian protectorate. Several hundred Cham Albanians supported this authority, becoming the leaders of Këshilla, but the majority and the local leaders opposed it. This would be used as an excuse by EDES forces at the end of the war, to expel all Muslim Chams from the region, whether collaborated or not.
