Description
Clashes broke out in the Albanian capital of Tirana on Sunday as anti-government unrests entered a sixth day. Protesters threw rocks, and set off flares and fireworks towards riot police, with officers responding with tear gas, water cannons and baton charges. Protesters attacked government buildings, smashed storefronts and set fires. The violence escalated after high school and university students joined a broader anti-government movement calling for socialist Prime Minister Edi Rama’s resignation.
