Azem Bejta, more commonly known as Azem Galica was born in the village of Galica (medieval Kalica) in the Drenica region of central Kosovo. He was the son of Bejta Galica, a patriot who died fighting for Albania's independence from the Ottoman Empire. Azem followed his father, and first fought against the Ottomans between 1910-1912. The same year, 1912, Serbia gained Kosovo in the course of the First Balkan War, and Azem Galica was among the many patriots who fought against the Serbs. He proved his valiance on many occasions. During the First World War, when the Serbs were defeated by the Bulgarians and Austro-Hungarians in 1915, Kosovo was divided between Bulgaria and Austro-Hungary. Azem Galica did not accept this occupation either, and he became an outlaw fighting the Bulgarian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers. In one occasion, for instance, it was him, his brother and two other fighters against as many as 30 Bulgarian soldiers. They killed at least 13 and chased the others.

After Austro-Hungary's withdrawal, however, Serbia regained Kosovo. Azem Galica and his ceta (military formation) pursued their life mission; the liberation of Kosovo. Their continuous battles with Serb military and police is the source of many anecdotes of bravery. Along his side was the Jeanne D'Arc of Kosovo, his wife Qerime Radisheva, or Shota. They won many pitched battles with local Serb forces, but always under the rule that "no Serbs besides those carrying weapons are to be touched ..."! He even succeeded in creating a free-zone in Kosovo due to military success, a zone which was called "Arbnia e Vogel" (little Albania).. The Serbs, however, had no intention on letting this little autonomous zone survive, and thus with superior arms and more soldiers and police, they engaged Azem Galica's band of warriors. After heavy casualties, they succeeded in wounding Azem who later died from his wounds. His last wish was for his body not to be found by the Serbs, and thus he was buried in a deep cave. He died in July 1924.
