NPR's Sylvia Poggioli reports from Tirana, Albania, on the eerie calm that has taken over the capital. Most residents are waiting to see if President Sali Berisha (solly buh-REESH-uh) will respond to an ultimatum that he resign...an ultimatum that comes from rebels in the southern part of the country. In Tirana, armed police are trying to recover control of the airport in order to re-open it tomorrow. Other cities in Albania are still terrorized by armed gangs. One report said most court houses have been burned or damaged, the judicial files burned. Nearly all the country's jails have been destroyed and the prisoners freed.
