Abdullah Tahiri (September 2, 1956 – May 19, 1999) was a Kosovar political activist and commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army.

[1] Tahiri attended primary school until 1975, at which point he left because of "hostile activities" against the state.

While many believed the protest to be spontaneous, it was in fact planned and organized by Gani Koci, Bajram Kosumi, and others.

Tahiri organized his fellow citizens around his ideology of freeing Kosovo from Serbian influence.

He became a Major General in the military force and Tahiri had been active in the leadership of the Union of Political Parties of Gjilan (Albanian: "USPGJ") that acted as a unique body.
