VENEZUELA-POLITICS-OPPOSITION-PROTEST

Demonstrators kneel in front of riot police during a protest against the government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in Caracas on March 8, 2014. Armed with cooking pots in a potent symbol of Venezuela’s chronic food shortage, thousands took to the streets Saturday in the latest public rally against the government. At least 20 people have now died since protests first erupted, giving Maduro his biggest test since succeeding late leader Hugo Chavez almost a year ago. AFP PHOTO/JUAN BARRETO
