In 1913, the imam of Tanuše, Malik Mema was the leader of an uprising in Upper Reka against Serbian military forces that managed to free all villages up to Zdunje, near Gostivar.[1] During the 2001 insurgency in northern Macedonia, Macedonian armed forces and police desecrated part of the interior of the village mosque so as to prevent possible usage by Albanian National Liberation Army (NLA) units.[1] Due to the village of Tanuše being affected by the conflict, some residents migrated thereafter to other places.[1][2]

The village mosque exists as a monument to the past. During 2001 the military-police forces of Macedonia desecrated the interior part of the mosque with the intention that it does not serve the NLA units. The head of the highlander uprising of Upper Reka in 1913 against the Serb forces has been the imam of this mosque, Malik Mema, who managed to free all villages all the way to Zdunje of Gostivar."

"The same villages were inhabited a few decades ago by hundreds of locals, who mostly migrated to the nearby towns of Gostivar and Skopje, as well as abroad for work or (as in Tanushaj) as a consequence of a (minor) Macedonian portion of the last Yugoslavian Wars."
