Albania Student Protests LIVE: Demonstrations Against Government in Tirana | Riot Police vs Students

Albania Student Protests LIVE: Demonstrations Against Government in Tirana | Riot Police vs Students TIRANA, Albania — Intense anti-government riots rocked Albania's capital on Thursday, as thousands of demonstrators clashed with riot police outside the Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Education in Tirana. What began as a student-led boycott over soaring tuition fees, poor university infrastructure, and limited job prospects has rapidly escalated into the so-called "Flamingo Revolution." Protesters demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama hurled petrol bombs, stones, and flares, setting fire to government barriers, bank branches, and city structures, while police responded with water cannons and tear gas. The nationwide unrest has been further fueled by massive public backlash against a controversial $1.4 billion luxury resort project on Sazan Island and the Zvërnec coast led by Affinity Partners, a private equity firm founded by Jared Kushner, son-in-law of former U.S. President Donald Trump. Environmentalists and citizens argue the development threatens a vital protected ecosystem and national sovereignty, intensifying political pressure on Rama's administration amidst ongoing nationwide demonstrations. #albania, #tirana, #flamingorevolution, #albaniaprotests, #tiranariots, #jaredkushner, #edirama, #albanianews, #albania live, #tiranauprising, #europebreakingnews, #balkanprotests, #studentrevolt, #zvernec, #sazan Moneycontrol is India’s leading financial portal, offering market news, expert analysis, and powerful tools.
