TIRANA, Albania (Reuters) - Albanian police fired tear gas to disperse opposition protesters who hurled petrol bombs at government buildings and smashed city property in what they said was part of a civil disobedience against the government.
Protesters accused Prime Minister Edi Rama’s government of corruption, nepotism and trying to silence the opposition.
