Masked

Police used water cannons to disperse masked protesters in Albania’s capital, Tirana, as anti-government demonstrations entered their third week. Anger over alleged government corruption and poor education has fuelled unrest, posing a major challenge to Prime Minister Edi Rama.

At least seven people were killed and 34 wounded after two masked gunmen opened fire during a funeral at a Greek Orthodox church in Karak, Jordan. Security forces are hunting the suspects as King Abdullah vows severe punishment and urges national unity.
