Ali Paša of Gusinje

Ali-paša Šabanagić (1828 - 1888) was a military leader who ruled over an area in eastern Montenegro. He was more commonly known as Ali-paša Gusinjski.

Biography

Ali-beg Šabanagić was born in 1828 in Gusinje, Montenegro to Hasan-beg Šabanagić. He finished military school in Istanbul.

He declared war against Montenegro in 1879. He defeated the Montenegrins at Nokšić on December, 1879 and at Murino on January 8, 1880.

The next year, Ali-beg was named the Sandžak-beg of the newly-formed Sandžak of Peć. After this, he gained the title of pasha from the Sultan and was then on called Ali-paša Gusinjski. Bećir Sidki-beg was installed in his place.

In 1888, Ali-paša was assasinated at the entrance of Rugovska Klisura, close to the Patriarch of Peć. The assassin was Mehmed Ramin Rugovac. His assassination was linked to his involvement with the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina and to his links to Vaso Pelagić.
