Albanian here, want to clarify some things: 1. The situation was never that bad as the post makes.... It is similar to the current June events in the US (unrests/protests), but sans looting of random businesses, just burning of the PM office (instead of a police precinct). 2. That politician, was not killed by the government, but it is rumored (never verified) that he was setup by his rival leader of his own party. The same guy who very conveniently then went to the streets and demand the government step down. His own bodyguard was somehow intermingled in this thing. 3. Also, 0 foreigners were harmed during these protests, or past ones... I know Embassies have to take precautions, in Albania foreigners are treat as 'guests' of the house, and treated well. (even during protests). Sounds weird, but that's how it is. It is like the whole nation has the 'responsibility' that the foreign guests have a good time when they visit. It is from old traditions/customs, dating back to ancient times... 4. This is an example of good American intervention, by then Bill Clinton's cabinet, which was very competent. They basically called the 'bad guy', and told him that the US would not recognize this government, as it was not democratically elected, and you will be considered an outlawed gov. and isolated from the rest of the world. That was enough, for the 'bad politician', to step down, and let a provisory government with members from all major parties to take over until the next elections. The coup-de-ta was over in two days with just one phone call, and probably spared the country from further unrests. I know for some reason American involvement gets a lot of flack, but great examples of 'just/correct' and successful intervention almost never make the news. It is always the failures that do, unfortunately. Ps. Also, Albania is a very beautiful Mediterranean country... while it is lacking in infrastructure, It is just as beautiful as neighbors (southern Italy, Greece or Croatia, which most americans are familiar with). https://pixabay.com/images/search/albania/ https://pixabay.com/images/search/albania/ https://www.thetravel.com/20-breathtaking-photos-that-will-make-you-want-to-check-out-albania-asap/ https://www.thetravel.com/20-breathtaking-photos-that-will-m...
