Thousands of Albanians have marched nightly through Tirana since late May, according to DW News, initially protesting plans for a luxury resort development that DW News reports is linked to Jared Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law. The demonstrations have since expanded into broad anti-government protests, with demonstrators accusing Prime Minister Edi Rama's government of corruption and calling for his resignation.
