Two people were reported dead and up to 100 injured in violent clashes in Albania on Monday (10/2), as opposition leaders met to voice their criticism over the government's handling of recent protests.
It is by far the worst day of violence in Albania since protesters took to the streets last month to accuse the government of collusion in the collapse of pyramid investments schemes that have robbed many Albanians of their savings.
