Tens of thousands of students took to the streets of Tirana to protest rising education costs and corruption, setting fire to the Ministry of Education building and two banks while throwing stones at police. Authorities responded with water cannons and tear gas as protesters overturned garbage cans and damaged local businesses. The unrest marks the most violent backlash yet against Prime Minister Edi Rama, amid growing public anger over alleged corruption and controversial development plans along Albania’s southern coast.
