Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has publicly alleged that foreign operatives are actively orchestrating the violent anti-government demonstrations currently engulfing the nation’s capital.

The fierce protests initially erupted on Tuesday over exorbitant educational costs, but have since expanded into widespread demands for the immediate resignation of the current administration.
