Albania’s leader defies calls to resign as student protesters rampage in capital

​Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama on Thursday rejected calls to resign as thousands of student-led protesters smashed windows and fought running battles with riot police firing water cannon and tear gas in the capital. The demonstrators accuse officials of corruption and neglecting education and say they are angry about the sale of parts of Albania’s southern coastline to a luxury resort development backed ​by US President ‌Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
