The 21st anti-government protest has brought Albanians from all over the world to Tirana. With red and black flags and calls for the removal of Edi Rama, the diaspora became one of the strongest symbols of this evening's mobilization.
Albanians from the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Greece and other countries have joined the 21st anti-government protest, turning Tirana's boulevard into a sea of red and black flags.
The participation of the diaspora, announced for days, materialized this evening with hundreds of immigrants traveling by cars, planes, and buses to be part of what many protesters described as the largest protest held to date.
An Albanian from the United States said he had returned after three decades to join the protest.
" I come from America after 30 years. Edi Rama has only 24 hours, then he can go and hide like a mouse in a garbage dump. Long live the youth, Albania belongs to the youth ," he declared.
Amidst the chants of "Rama go away," "Rama in prison," and "New Albania," protesters from the diaspora described the mobilization of youth as the most important development of this movement.
" This turned out to be the most brilliant youth of 35 years ," said another protester.
The sacrifice of immigrants to be part of the protest was also reflected in the testimonies of those who traveled dozens of hours to arrive in Tirana.
" I traveled 48 hours to be here today. My heart aches when I see you in the square. The diaspora has risen unanimously from London, Germany, Italy, Greece and demands Rama's departure ," said another protester.
On the 21st day of protests, diaspora participation has become one of the most significant elements of the movement, giving this evening's rally dimensions that many protesters consider unprecedented.
