Pas Kongresit të Lushnjës më 21 janar 19120, kemi një intensifikim të veprimtarisë patriotike dhe ushtarake të shqiptarëve, të udhëhequr nga patriot të ditur dhe të zotë. Më 13 mars 1920 kemi largimin e francezëve nga Shkodra nga presioni i Qeverisë shqiptare të dalë nga Kongresi i Lushnjës. Në gusht të vitit 1920 kemi Luftën e Vlorës që bëri të mundur largimin e ushtarakëve italianë nga Vlora dhe Sazani. Për të parën herë më 21 prill të vitit 1921 hapet parlamenti pluralist shqiptar. Në saj të punës së këtij parlamenti, të qeverisë shqiptare të kohës dhe të patrotëve shqiptarë, ndërmjet tyre edhe Ahmet Bej Resuli, u bë e mundur që më 9 Nëntor 1921 shtetet e mëdha e njohën de juro dhe de fakto Shqipërinë si një shtet vetqeveritar.

During the time of the monarchy, he was elected deputy in the period 1937-April 1939. During the Anti-Fascist National Liberation War, he was busy with his own affairs, but helping some of his friends who were part of this movement. After 1945, the communists who came to power did not recognize his contribution to national independence and help during the LANC, and under these conditions he left for Italy where he lived until 1973. In 1948, his family, his son and other children left from Tirana and sent them to Thumana swamp.

Shkodra in nobody's hands from the escape of the "Deserved Losses"!

The "Deserved Losers" leave the city in the hands of no one, proving how they managed!
