Xhel Guri, (born Xheladin Limani); was a Kachak Albanian insurgent from the village of Shurdhan in present-day Gjilan municipality. Xhel Guri was a close companion of Idriz Seferi and later became the leader of the Albanian Kachaks in the Karadak Highlands. He was killed in battle against Yugoslav forces in the village of Kurbalija in 1927 and is considered one of the last Kachak leaders to have led armed resistance against Yugoslav authorities.
