Who is Suella Braverman who "declared war" on the Albanians and called

The Home Secretary of Great Britain, Suella Braverman, was dismissed today by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. This came as a result of her comments about pro-Palestinian protests, which she said are disturbing.

Suella Braverman's name has been around for a long time in Albania as well, after her opinions on the issue of Albanian immigrants entering England by sea in dinghies. 

Braverman, the daughter of two immigrants from Kenya and the islands of Mauritius, has been the main advocate of the Government in recent years, where after she was appointed secretary of the interior she declared "war" on Albanian immigrants who cross the La Manche channel in search of a different lifestyles beyond continental shores. Her real name is actually Sue-Ellen Cassiana "Braverman" Fernandes, but she is known as Suella for short and was born on April 3, 1980 in Harrow, London. Suella got her political roots from her mother, who was a nurse and had competed to be a member of the British Parliament, but without succeeding.

Coming to the big table of MPs, Braverman began to speak out, above all on the issue of Brexit, for which she was a strong supporter. Then, with the arrival of Boris Johnson at the head of the Conservatives and the Government, she became the Government's main adviser on legal matters. With the fall of Johnson and his withdrawal from office, Suella sought to enter the Tory race for party leader, but failed to qualify in the final duel between Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak. Despite this, following Truss's victory, Braverman was awarded the post of Home Secretary, which she held from 6 September 2022 until 19 October 2022, when she stood down, alleging that she had breached the internal ministerial code, after had sent several emails from her private profile to lobby for votes on a bill (not allowed in Britain).

Her resignation would also bring down the Truss Government, which left office as the shortest-lived prime minister in British history, at 45 days. But when it was thought that even for Braverman everything was over in the ministerial aspect, with the arrival of Rishi Sunak in power, just a week later, she returned to the post.

Her statements about the Albanians and reactions

Braverman has often blamed immigrants for Britain's internal problems, where he has also singled out Albanians many times, whom he described as invaders and criminals. Her statements against the Albanians were met with protests where the Albanians of London held placards with the message that "they are Albanians, they work and pay taxes". She also proposed sending Rwandan immigrants to camps that Britain has built for immigrants. The prime minister of Albania, Edi Rama, also reacted to her statements at the time, who considered her statements shameful, adding that it was Britain's responsibility to cooperate in managing the situation with illegal Albanian immigrants who arrive in the Kingdom by rafts.
