Albanian protests turn violent: What we know
- Albania's capital Tirana has seen months of protests from an anti-government "Flamingo" movement, but what started on Tuesday this week was on a different scale.
- And the clashes have spread beyond Tirana - to include the main cities of Durrës, Shkodër, Korçë and Vlora.
- The new demonstrations were announced as a student movement, ostensibly demanding action by the government to help with the high cost of education fees and books - and the higher cost of living.
