Tens of Thousands Protest in Albania Over Trump-Linked Resort and Government Issues
For the 35th consecutive night, tens of thousands protested in Tirana, Albania, demanding Prime Minister Edi Rama's resignation, government changes, constitutional reform, and anti-corruption measures. The demonstrations began over a luxury resort project linked to Jared Kushner, which opponents say threatens a protected natural area and migratory birds. Protesters used symbolic acts, including toppling a bust of Rama, and clashed with police who used water cannons and tear gas to disperse crowds. The movement, called the "Flamingo Revolution," reflects broader public discontent over transparency and environmental concerns.
