During November and December a wave of protests swept the nation. Students protested about university fees and corruption in the education department and residents whose houses are slated for demolition to make way for a ring road around the capital city protested. In response, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, reshuffled his cabinet replacing eight ministers. Pray that the changes will bring a breath of fresh air into politics. Ask God to bless this nation with stability and increased commitment to eradicate corruption (The Bible, Proverbs 22:1).
