Bolivian police targeted with fireworks as Camacho protests enter sixth day

Protesters set off fireworks at police on Monday (January 2) night in the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz during the sixth day of protests following the arrest of local governor Luis Camacho.

Protesters in Bolivia's farming region of Santa Cruz also blocked highways out of the province, threatening to snarl the domestic transport of grains and food.

The region, a stronghold of the conservative opposition to socialist President Luis Arce, has seen thousands of people take to the streets and clashes with weaponized fireworks and cars burned.
