# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in October 1925, Alia rose through the Party of Labour to become Albania's head of state in 1982, then First Secretary in 1985 when Hoxha, who had marked him as successor, died. For six years he presided over the People's Socialist Republic as its founding rigidity cracked under pressure from a changing Europe. The party's grip broke in 1991; he remained nominal head of state until 1992, outlasting the system but not the reckoning that followed.
