🇦🇱🇧🇪 Fierce clashes erupted between protesters and police in Brussels and Albania on Saturday, as demonstrations over different demands escalated into confrontations.

In Brussels, police scuffled with student protesters after hundreds gathered at the central railway station to march toward Gare du Midi.

Footage showed demonstrators running and falling as officers surrounded them, with police seen hitting and kicking one protester. Some demonstrators threw objects onto bicycles to block a road and attempted to set them on fire.

Meanwhile, in Albania’s capital, Tirana, protesters demanding Prime Minister Edi Rama’s resignation pelted stones at police, who responded with water cannons and tear gas.

The Albanian protests, now in their eighth day, have been fueled by anger over perceived government corruption, unemployment, and poor education standards, spreading to other cities.

The protests in Albania follow months of largely peaceful protests against a luxury coastal development backed by US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and pose a significant challenge to Rama, who has governed Albania since 2013 and won a fourth term last year.
