Këshilla (literally meaning "Council"; Greek: Ξιλία - Ksilia) was a administration in Thesprotia, Greece, during the Axis occupation of Greece (1942-1944). It was set up during the Italian occupation and continued its operations under German occupation until the end of World War II. This initiative was undertaken by the Cham Albanian leaders of the Dino family, in particular the brothers Nuri and Mazar Dino and received support by the majority of the community, who had collaborated with the Axis.[2][3][4] The policy of ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the Këshilla and other paramilitary organisations under the Dino clan was used by EDES resistance forces at the end of the war to expel the Muslim Cham community from the region, with the exception of small groups who had not followed them.
