Why Ivanka’s Albanian Dream is a Protestors Nightmare • FRANCE 24 English
Good that they're talking to someone from Citizens.al Most of the English language EU and North American media coverage of this uses the same footage, so the real difference is who they talk to additionally. This is one of the best ones to watch because they're talking to someone who's good at giving the context.

Revolta nuk ndalet/ Protesta e 9-të masive për dorëheqjen e Ramës. Mijëra qytetarë te kryeministria

"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."

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.

15th night of protests in Albania
When I tuned in, the announcer was saying there are also protests in other cities in Albania: Shkodër, Lezhë, Elbasan, etc.
"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.""

People with disabilities in the square for an inclusive system
""We are here too!" is the collective cry of dozens of citizens with disabilities who have joined the "Flamingo Revolution" in the square.
Like thousands of other citizens demanding change in governance, people with disabilities have brought to the forefront everyday problems that often remain on the periphery of public debate, such as lack of access, inadequate services, and exclusion from the labor market."

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.

[quote] "The legal instrument protecting your rights as a user of Linux is less important than the commercial ecosystem built on top of it. And that commercial ecosystem as we have established is controlled by the same corporations paying a half a million dollars a year for board seats at the Linux Foundation. ... The message ... enforce the GPL, lose your friends ... violate it openly ... get a seat on the board ... The GPL is not dead but its enforcement mechanism has been systematically dismantled by the very organization that claims to steward it."[synopsis]
Linux Foundation has squelched the voice of the lay contributors and now corporations control the decision-making process.
Now that your contributions to GPL'd free software have created mega-millionaires and billionaires ... those same rich fat cats that profited from your free code now want to keep you from sharing your own free code or profiting from it while they violate the software license to cash in. They promote ideology campaigns employing useful idiots and ideological parrots to insulate themselves from criticism and hold themselves above reproach from the people they are exploiting to build their tech empire. The Linux Foundation has joined the empire.
I have said before that a new alternative operating system is required if software freedom and privacy are to survive. Linux is not the resistance against the system. Linux is the system.
