Albania student protests intensify in Tirana

What happened

Student-led anti-government demonstrations in Tirana continued amid clashes and calls for Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign.

Context and what is known

Reporting points to frustrations over housing affordability and political accountability among young people. Police and organizers have offered competing accounts of how clashes unfolded.

What remains important

Protest movements can include students, opposition parties and unaffiliated citizens with different demands. Descriptions of crowds or clashes need a reliable date, location and source; estimates should not be treated as a final count. The decisive updates will be statements from organisers and authorities, verified arrests or injuries if any and the government's response to the demands.
