Things are getting very heated in Tirana, the capital city of Albania. Large crowds of people are out in the streets protesting against the government.
The situation turned violent recently. Police in the city are using tear gas and water cannons to try and break up the groups. These tools are used to force people to move away or stop what they are doing.
The protesters are unhappy and are calling for the Prime Minister to resign, which means they want him to quit his job.
Even though the government has put new rules in place to try and stop the unrest, the protests are still happening. The Prime Minister is blaming the trouble on a group he calls 'antifa.' This is a term used for people who are against fascism, though the Prime Minister is using it to describe the people causing the dissent.
This situation is making other countries nervous. People in Greece are watching closely because they know they need to be careful with how they handle this. Everyone is waiting to see what happens next in the streets of Albania.
