Anti-Government Protests Intensify In Albania, Students Demand PM's Exit
Thousands of students and protesters have taken to the streets of Albania's capital, Tirana, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama. Demonstrators blocked roads, set rubbish bins on fire and vandalised public property as anti-government anger continued to grow. The protests, which began in October over corruption allegations linked to a luxury resort project reportedly backed by Jared Kushner, have since expanded into a wider movement over governance, public services, education and job opportunities.
