Albania

Albania is a small Balkan country with a rich history and cultural heritage. Recently, it has been in the news due to its efforts to combat corruption through the creation of an artificial intelligence avatar, Diella, to aid in anticorruption efforts. However, this initiative has faced criticism for potential graft. Meanwhile, protests and clashes have erupted in the capital city Tirana over alleged corruption in the government, with opposition lawmakers scuffling with police. The country's Constitutional Court has reinstated a deputy prime minister accused of corruption, sparking concerns about the rule of law. These events highlight Albania's ongoing struggles with corruption and political instability, making it significant to regional and global affairs.
