Albanians set fire to government buildings and clash with riot police in latest protests

  • On Tuesday, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama blamed a "hybrid war" for violent anti-government demonstrations in Tirana, repeating accusations that "foreign actors" were fueling the unrest.

  • Around 300 people have been injured in clashes between protesters and police, with demonstrators hurling petrol bombs and stones while authorities deployed water cannons and tear gas to disperse crowds.
  • University professors marched on Tuesday to condemn police violence targeting students, while demonstrators carried banners reading "Stop violence against students" and called for Rama's resignation.
  • Rama said the unrest is "a hybrid war that gains traction precisely because it is rooted in genuine grievances, not mere fantasy," and hinted at a possible social media ban for children under 16.
