What is happening
After the first two days of demonstrations in Tirana, protests spread to Durres, Shkoder and other cities across Albania. Students called for Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign. The Interior Ministry in the capital was stormed. Hundreds of people were reported injured and taken to hospitals. Rama described the protesters as being supported by “external agents.”
Why it is on the Radar
The demonstrations are no longer limited to the capital and are reported to involve cities across the country. The reported storming of the Interior Ministry and the number of injured indicate that the protests have involved significant confrontation.
