Riot police officers detain a protester during clashes in central Tirana on October 16, 2026, as protests continued for a fourth consecutive day over university conditions and demands for the resignation of Albanian PM Edi Rama. The latest rally follows three nights of violence in the capital, during which protesters and riot police clashed, police used water cannons and tear gas, and demonstrators damaged government offices and shops and set fire to several buildings.
