In Albania, violent clashes erupted in the capital of Tirana on Thursday as anti-government protests stretched into a third day. Alarms sounded as protesters attacked this bank. Riot police retaliated with water cannons and tear gas. The nation’s Health Ministry says more than 80 people were injured, most of them police officers.
The student-led demonstration started amid anger over a major development project backed by President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. They’re also demanding better school conditions and for Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign. He has refused to do so.
