Life
Fetahu was born in 1955 in Trebisht in the Gollobordë region of Albania and completed studies in Albania and China. He has served as director of the non-governmental organization Center for Ethnic Studies. He has also been a university professor in Tirana. Fetahu is president of the ethnic Macedonian association "Mir" (meaning peace), which he founded in 1991 under its first name "Bratstvo" (meaning brotherhood).
