During the four days of protests, hundreds of people have thrown stones, flares and firecrackers at police guarding public buildings, including Rama's offices. They have damaged traffic lights, signs and other objects in the city, including in Tirana's main Skanderbeg Square. In the nearby western port city of Durres, demonstrators concluded their protest with fist-bumping with officers in front of a police station. Rama has apologized for what he called the “inexplicable and completely unreasonable” shooting of Rasha, and his interior minister resigned Thursday. Albanian politics has been mired by infighting since the shooting, with Rama accusing opposition politicians, including President Ilir Meta, of inciting the violent protests.
