Thousands of protesters rioted in Reykjavik, Iceland on November 22, 2008, to demand that the Prime Minister resign over the recent economic crisis which has crippled the country. In the months prior, three of the island nation's banks have collapsed, and the country has been forced to accept a $10 billion aid package from the International Monetary Fund to stabilize the country's economy.France 24: Icelanders Demand PM Resign During Violent Protests (November 23, 2008)
