AFP reported on riots at an anti-government protest in the Albanian capital.
Violent clashes took place at an anti-government protest in the Albanian capital Tirana: at least 10 policemen were injured, and 25 protesters were arrested. This was reported by Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The protest was led by opposition leader and former Prime Minister Sali Berisha, who gathered thousands of people in front of the main government building. The demonstrators accuse Socialist Prime Minister Edi Rama of corruption and demand his resignation.
"This is the last kilometer to the end of Edi Rama's regime," Berisha said after the rally.
The publication noted that the clashes broke out when groups of protesters tried to break through police lines at the parliament, pelting security forces with stones and Molotov cocktails. Police responded by using tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowd.
On the same day, it was reported that thousands of protesters in New York gathered for a march in solidarity with the people of Minneapolis and across America. It was noted that this is a new round of protests against the actions of the Migration Service (ICE).
Earlier, US President Donald Trump expressed bewilderment at the public outcry over the shooting involving a federal agent in Minneapolis and blamed local authorities for security.
The American leader, commenting on the incident, pointed out the circumstances of the incident and asked about the actions of law enforcement agencies on the spot.
