"The original trigger was local and visual: barbed-wire fences, private security forces and images of a protester being dragged away from the Zvërnec area. But the reaction quickly became national. For many Albanians, the episode touched older memories of exclusion, state arrogance and closed decision-making. It also revived current concerns over how public land, protected areas and strategic investments are managed in a country where corruption, political polarization and the influence of narrow economic interests remain persistent issues."

Why Jared And Ivanka’s Island Project Could Ruin Albania’s Bid To Join EU

I hate linking to Forbes, but search engines aren't showing me sources that are any better. At least they break down some of the context better for those who don't know.

13th day of protests in Tirana, Albania

Albanian media is mostly captured by oligarchs so one way supporters outside Albania can help is by watching & liking outside media coverage of protests (and any good analysis thereof) so world media is incentivized to keep covering this. Albania does not usually get covered by outside media.

14th day of anti-corruption protests in Tirana, Albania

Live.

There are a number of different chants that repeat, but one of the easiest ones to recognize is "Rama n' burg, Berisha n'burg". Roughly, it's "Rama to jail, Berisha to jail "Rama is current PM and Berisha is the previous PM. They are from opposite main parties. The chant points out that this protest is not a party protest - all corruption must go.
