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.""

For the first time since protests started in Tirana, I cannot find a livestream of it on YouTube.
Looking at the Albania sub-Reddit, there are indications that a protest was planned as usual for tonight (in that a graphic was circulated with the details), but the two channels I have been able to rely on for livecasts are not posting any. And it is 45 minutes past what the normal start time would be.
EDIT: rumor of crackdown, arrests
I'll keep looking for reporting from a reputable source, but I saw a FB post from a lawyer offering defense to protestors who've been arrested.
For those outside #Albania who'd like to help, watch/like DW's, Al Jazeera's, etc coverage of the #protest to incentivize them to keep covering the #FlamingoRevolution. And if you're in a position to communicate more immediately with them, ask them to follow up on why we're not seeing live coverage of the protest tonight, whether there were arrests, etc

"I came here to protest because we are currently facing a very corrupt government who is doing a lot of things against their own people. They're doing everything they can in their power to suppress us as protesters. They're doing everything they can in order to pocket and increase their earnings while the average citizen is out here suffering for basic needs, such as water, healthcare, and a lot more."

Albania’s Street Revolt Turns (Party) Political
"The protest, now in its 21st consecutive day, has become openly political. It is no longer mainly about the disputed Zvërnec project, nor only about the lack of transparency surrounding so-called strategic investment projects. Zvërnec was the match that lit a much larger fire.
That fire had been building for years: over bad governance, corruption, arrogance, institutional deafness, the concentration of power in one man’s hands and the personalization of authority. For many protesters, Albania no longer resembles a functioning parliamentary democracy. As one local analyst put it, the country has come to look more like a sultanate, where one person controls and directs almost everything."

Kakome is between Sazan Island (where Kusher development deal is) and the Greek Island of Corfu, further down along the Albanian coast.
"The civic uprising in Kakome has brought down the fence that had been preventing citizens from freely accessing the beach for nearly 20 years. This development has been seen by many participants as a symbol of the strength of civic unity. According to them, citizens have understood that only united can they protect rights, property and the public interest, taking their destiny and that of the country into their own hands."

Interview in Italian with an Albanian member of the diaspora (in Netherlands) who came back to support the protests. Diaspora Albanians came back before this weekend to protest, but there was an organized return of diaspora Albanians just this past Saturday.
He speaks of how the corruption and patronage keep Albanians poor, forcing better-educated anti-corruption Albanians to leave the country.
For decades, Albania's youth have had to emigrate to survive & to support their extended families.
There was no reckoning for the oligarchs under Hoxha. Many of the same people run things now under "democracy".

"For decades, migration from Albania was largely explained by poverty and the search for survival after the collapse of communism. Today, according to researcher Ilir Gëdeshi, the pattern has changed. Migration is increasingly selective and structural. It affects young people, educated people and skilled professionals in disproportionate numbers.
The reasons are no longer only economic. Young Albanians are leaving because they do not see a future at home. The study points to dissatisfaction with corruption, lack of meritocracy, weak trust in institutions, poor services, inadequate infrastructure and the feeling that success depends more on political connections than on talent or work."

My camera shoots fascistsAmericans could take some lessons from this. An orchestrated, scheduled, very nondisruptive performance of dissent every several months gets us nothing.
Sel@meganL Has Albania been spared or are these people going out in absolutely roasting temperatures?
@Selvari21106 It's hot in Albania, but not as hot as it currently is in France. Yesterday they were out in a heavy thunderstorm still protesting. They're quite committed and inspiring.
@Selvari21106 Boost things (not necessarily mine, although you can). Pressure from Western Europe helps the mass media keep interested in covering the protest, and that's where most of the pressure they can apply right now comes from.
@meganL sure. I have a grand total of four followers so I don't imagine it'll be too helpful but I suppose it can't hurt.
@Selvari21106 Haha, good on ya. Well, if you let others you can persuade know and upvote BBC or other coverage of the story, it helps keep media covering this ongoing story.
They tend to get bored with peaceful protests that don't have dramatic camera-ready escalations for them. But long sustained peaceful protest isn't wimpy, esp in this context.
