They're protesting the sixth day of power failures. Hundreds of riot police are at the scene armed with semi-automatic guns and hurling tear gas at the crowd. Power outages have become a common occurrence in the country - sometimes lasting 20 hours. The government blames the outages on this year's drought which has caused low production at hydroelectric dams. --- from list aut-op-sy-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
