Protesters in Tirana set fire to Albania's Supreme Court late on Saturday as a movement that began over a Jared Kushner-linked resort widened into a broader challenge to Prime Minister Edi Rama's government.
The blaze on 17 October 2026 came during a week of violent demonstrations, with hundreds detained and more than 270 people injured. What started as the so-called Flamingo Revolution against a luxury development on the southern coast has drawn in students angry about corruption, education and jobs. Rama, in power since 2013, has refused to resign.
