• Des milliers d'étudiants manifestent à Tirana contre le Premier ministre Edi Rama, au pouvoir depuis 14 ans.
• Les protestataires accusent les responsables de corruption et de négliger l'éducation, et contestent la vente du littoral sud.
• Rama refuse de démissionner et affirme vouloir écouter les préoccupations légitimes et faire avancer le pays.

Albanian students expressed deep frustration with Edi Rama on Thursday as thousands of protesters clashed with riot police in Tirana, demanding the prime minister's resignation after 14 years in power. "We're just done with him," protester Migerta Demalia told Reuters as smoke rose from burning structures around the capital. The student-led demonstrations turned violent as many involved started smashing windows, set fire to kiosks and garbage containers, and ripped metal fences from pavements, prompting police to respond with water cannons and tear gas. Many young Albanians said they saw no future in their country under Rama's leadership. The demonstrators accuse officials of corruption and neglecting education, and are angry about the sale of parts of Albania's southern coastline to a luxury resort development. Rama rejected calls to resign, saying his responsibility was to "Listen, address legitimate concerns and keep Albania moving forward." The protests mark the biggest challenge yet to Rama, who won a fourth term last year with EU membership at the centre of his campaign.
