Demonstrators and riot police clashed in Albania's capital on Wednesday in a second straight day of violence triggered by student protests calling for better university conditions and Prime Minister Edi Rama's resignation.

Over several hours police deployed water cannon and tear gas while demonstrators targeted a government building and shops in Tirana, smashing windows and on at least one occasion setting a building on fire.

Riot police have routinely attempted to push back the crowd of hundreds, also using tear gas, after street violence overnight left 16 people arrested.

Demonstrators threw projectiles, including paving stones and petrol bombs, set fire to bins and used street fencing to form barricades along a central street near the Balkan nation's education ministry, according to AFP journalists.

Mostly peaceful. Possibly expressing desire for improved school conditions.

I went to Grok. Nothing from the Wizard Of Id. The closest it could come with is from Mel Brooks’ 1981 film History of the World: Part I, where King Louis XVI replies to “The people are revolting” with: “You said it! They stink on ice!”

Protests started against Jared Kushner’s planned luxury resort development in Albania.

Originally sparked by a luxury tourism project linked to US President Donald Trump's family in the country's south, the demonstrations have occasionally flared into violence amid ongoing calls for Rama's resignation.

Looks like Europe’s day of reckoning for their foolishness with illegal aliens, may have arrived. Soon, it will be every country in burning.
