Demonstrators and riot police clashed in Albania's capital on Wednesday in a second straight day of violence triggered by student protests calling for better university conditions and Prime Minister Edi Rama's resignation. Protesters formed makeshift barricades in the capital, Tirana, while riot police responded with water cannon, after street violence overnight left 16 people arrested and government buildings badly damaged.
