The Flamingo Revolution has begun.
More than 100,000 people have taken to the streets of Albania.
They’ve marched through the capital. They’ve faced water cannons. They’ve clashed with police. They’ve carried signs reading “Albania Is Not For Sale.”
At the centre is a fight over one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Europe.
The government says it will bring jobs, investment, and billions of dollars into the economy.
Protesters say their country is being handed over to politically connected billionaires.
And sitting right in the middle of the controversy are two very familiar names:
Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
A few years ago, they discovered a forgotten island in the Mediterranean.
Today, that island has become the centre of a national uprising.
What exactly is the Flamingo Revolution? Is Albania for sale?
And if it is, who might be next?
