(AFP pic)TIRANA: Thousands rallied in Tirana on Saturday at a fresh anti-government rally after days of violent unrest in the Albanian capital, with police firing tear gas to disperse the crowd.

Since mid-October, protesters and police have routinely clashed in Tirana in anti-government demonstrations that morphed from rallies against a development linked to the family of US President Donald Trump.

Several government buildings have been attacked, dozens of demonstrators detained and more than 300 protesters and police injured, said the authorities.

On Saturday, police fired rubber bullets while some protesters used fireworks against the security forces.
