Police clashed with anti-government protesters in Bolivia, resulting in injuries, as demonstrations demanding President Rodrigo Paz's resignation have paralyzed the nation and caused shortages.

Police clashed with anti-government protesters Saturday in eastern Bolivia, with gunfire reportedly wounding four officers, as authorities attempted to clear a road blocked by rural workers demanding President Rodrigo Paz's resignation. A month of heated demonstrations calling for the center-right Paz to step down have paralyzed the Andean nation, with about 100 protest blockades around Bolivia causing severe food and medicine shortages in major cities.
