Police in Albania fired what appeared to be rubber bullets at protesters on Saturday, during the fifth day of student demonstrations demanding Prime Minister Edi Rama step down. Clashes took place outside the education ministry in Tirana.
The protests have grown into a broader anti-government movement. Prime Minister Rama blamed foreign hands for the unrest, while students said they would keep protesting.
