Moldova!? Make it Happen!


Riot police in the Moldovan capital, Chisinau, have regained control of the parliament building that had earlier been stormed by protesters.

This followed the re-election of the Communist Party in Sunday's elections.

Thousands of anti-communist demonstrators stormed parliament, smashing furniture, throwing computers through windows and lighting fires.

More protests, which President Vladimir Voronin said amounted to an attempted coup, are expected on Wednesday. "
