Violent anti-government protests rocked Albania’s capital, Tirana, for a fifth consecutive day on Saturday, as demonstrators hurled rocks, petrol bombs and fireworks at police, who responded with tear gas and water cannon.

Protesters are demanding Prime Minister Edi Rama’s resignation over corruption allegations, with many calling for an end to the entire political establishment.

Hundreds have been arrested or investigated, and dozens injured.

Rama, who has ruled for 13 years, blamed the unrest on the opposition and unnamed foreign actors seeking to derail Albania’s EU ambitions.

Meanwhile, corruption investigations involving senior officials and his associates are increasing pressure on his government.
