On 17 October 2026, Reuters filmed a mass protest in Tirana, Albania's capital, where demonstrators demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama. The crowd, numbering in the thousands, chanted slogans such as "We want the revolution" and "We want a new government." According to the footage, the protesters said they had been marching peacefully for about 140 days, but their pleas had gone unheard. "We just ask that our prime minister leaves," one speaker said. "We don't want to negotiate anything. We have been protesting peacefully, but nothing was heard. Now we are going violently," the speaker added. The demonstrators warned that if their demands were not met, "everything will burn down." The protest continues as the government has yet to respond to the demonstrators' demands.
