Thousands of people have taken to the streets in cities across Albania demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama. Some of the protesters have turned to violence, tossing Molotov cocktails at the Rama's office. Opposition parties, in particular the Democratic Party and its leader Lulzim Basha, called the demonstrations, hoping to force Rama to resign and call snap elections. The violence is the latest in three months of anti-government protests. Albania is a member of NATO, and a candidate to join the European Union. The EU and the US have urged protesters to exercise restraint until upcoming local elections.
