[1][2] Rasim Kiçina was born on August 25, 1972, in Baicë, Drenica, into a modest but respected family known for their bravery and resistance against foreign rule.

[1] However, an important event occurred in 1992 when Rasim, still in high school, confronted two armed Serbian police officers who were harassing Albanian passengers on a train.

Demonstrating his physical strength and courage, Rasim disarmed and struck the officers to unconsciousness in front of the harassed passengers.

His house in Baicë became a safe haven for KLA fighters,[4] and he frequently traveled to Albania to acquire weapons for the armed resistance.

He was also part of the elite combat unit "ALFA" of the KLA, which included prominent fighters such as Mujë Krasniqi, Bekim Berisha or Besim Mala.

[7] Rasim also played a significant role in facilitating arms shipments from Albania, leading several missions to bring back much-needed weapons and ammunition for the KLA fighters in Drenica.
