- Albania's leader is defying calls to resign amid a wave of student protests that have escalated into open violence in the capital Tirana.
- Student protesters rampaged through Tirana, setting fire to banks and government buildings in what outlets describe as a full-blown eruption of street violence.
Why it matters: The torching of banks and government buildings in Tirana marks an unusually destructive turn for student-led protests in Albania, and the leader's continued defiance of resignation calls leaves the political crisis actively unresolved.
