Inside Albania’s Youth-Led ‘Flamingo Revolution’

Just before dusk, a crowd began marching down Dëshmorët e Kombit Boulevard in Tirana, Albania’s capital, toward Prime Minister Edi Rama’s office. As they approached, the sound of drums and their chants calling for “revolution” got louder. Once they arrived, the national anthem echoed throughout the avenue. Since May 31, protesters have been setting off every single day at 6 p.m. from Skanderbeg Square to take part in what has been dubbed the “Flamingo Revolution.” The iconic bird was chosen because of its connection to the natural protected area of Vjosa-Narta in Zvernec, where plans for a $1.4 billion luxury resort linked to Jared Kushner, an American real estate mogul and Donald Trump’s son-in-law, have caused fierce opposition.

Tens Of thousands Of Albanians Protest Against ‘Kushner Island’

Tens of thousands of Albanians took to the streets on 4 June to protest the impending destruction of Sazan Island and its ecologically sensitive surrounding coastline to make way for a $1.6-billion luxury resort project led by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump – the son-in-law and daughter of US President Donald Trump. Construction on the 1,400-hectare Mediterranean project, which includes Albania’s only island, is reportedly already underway, as protestors denounce the land grab as an embodiment of foreign overreach and government corruption. 

Trump Plans To ‘Take Over’ Gaza And Expel Palestinians

When Donald Trump campaigned for president in 2024, he told the Israeli-American Council that, during his first administration, “I was the best friend Israel ever had”. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agrees. In a press conference at the White House, Netanyahu told Trump, “You are the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House”. Since returning for his second term as US president, Trump has been as pro-Israel — and as anti-Palestinian — as he could possibly be. Trump signed an executive order calling to deport international students who protest Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people.
