Students in Albania joined anti-government demonstrations in Tirana, demanding Prime Minister Edi Rama’s resignation over poor university conditions, high tuition fees and inadequate support for young people. On the protests’ fifth day, clashes with police using rubber bullets and tear gas, among other measures, led to nine protesters and four officers receiving medical treatment; 167 people were arrested.
