  The aim of the CASE 2021 Shared Task 1 (H\"urriyeto\u{g}lu et al., 2021) was
to detect and classify socio-political and crisis event information at
document, sentence, cross-sentence, and token levels in a multilingual setting,
with each of these subtasks being evaluated separately in each test language.
Our submission contained entries in all of the subtasks, and the scores
obtained validated our research finding: That the multilingual aspect of the
tasks should be embraced, so that modeling and training regimes use the
multilingual nature of the tasks to their mutual benefit, rather than trying to
tackle the different languages separately. Our code is available at
