Albania: Fire at Education Ministry as students protest

Albania 's Education Ministry caught fire on Wednesday in a second day of student protests over corruption and education.

They are probably the most violent outburst of low-level anti-corruption protests against Prime Minister Edi Rama 's government and the main opposition led by Sali Barisha that started in May this year.

Some threw bricks at the building, damaged barriers on the sidewalks and overturned trash cans.
