Albania: Clashes as protesters call on government to resign

Albanian police fired teargas to disperse opposition protesters who gathered in the streets of the capital Tirana to call on longtime leftist Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign.

Thousands of protesters took to the streets, calling out chants such as: "Down with the dictatorship."

The protests, organized by the right-wing opposition, demand the replacement of the ruling government with a technocratic caretaker cabinet ahead of next year's parliamentary election.
