Cochabamba, Bolivia, is once again at the center of a nationwide conflict.

Thousands of protesters - some pro-, some anti-Evo, are marching on the streets, most of them armed with sticks (at least). There have been several confrontations, so far, the television talks about 5 dead. (However, the day isn't over yet - and the protest marches continue.)

Before-yesterday, the prefectura was burned (the equivalent in the U.S. would be the Governor's building or something), and two cars were burned, but no people had died yet.

Several attacks against reporters.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
