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.

"At the same time, the PR agency states that the development is being led by a company called Sazan Real Estate Development LLC (SRED), about which the agency provides virtually no information other than the identity of its chief executive.

The agency identifies Asher Abehsera, a partner of Jared Kushner in several previous business ventures, as CEO of SRED and includes a statement from him. Abehsera promises a "world-class destination," "responsible stewardship," "environmental enhancement," and respect for the "ongoing public and institutional processes.""

Why Ivanka Trump's island has sparked mass protest in Albania | The Global Story

BBC is interviewing a reporter who was based in Istanbul who came in to cover Albania.

But the Albanians who've been fighting this resort for years and Albanian journalists (the ones fighting the oligarchical control of media here) should be platformed, IMO.
