Tafil Buzi (1792 - 1844) was an Albanian leader and fighter, known for his role in various rebellions against the Ottoman government of southern Albania during the Albanian Revolts of 1833-1839. Throughout his uprisings, he maintained contacts with Muhammad Ali of Egypt and Greek politicians. As punishment for his continuous rebellions, he was captured and interned by the Ottoman government in 1840. In 1842, he was pardoned and acted as leader in service of the Ottoman government in Syria. He died there in 1844.[1]
