Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of Tirana, Albania, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama as anti-government demonstrations intensify. Students have joined the wider movement, calling for lower tuition fees, increased education funding and action against corruption in the education system.
Clashes have erupted between demonstrators and police, with rocks, flares and firebombs hurled at officers. Police responded with tear gas and water cannons as protests continued into the evening amid growing public anger over rising costs and declining services.
