anthropologie du présent

An old light tank which stood as a monument at a square in San Cristobal, capital of the western border state of Tachira, Venezuela, and was burnt and used as barricade to block a road during a protest yesterday, is seen with the word « Peace » written on it, on February 21, 2014. The Venezuelan government ordered paratroopers Thursday to this border city where growing student protests began over two weeks ago, with President Nicolas Maduro angrily rejecting US calls for dialogue. The nationwide demonstrations, led by students and the opposition, have left at least four people dead and dozens hurt in the biggest challenge to Maduro since he took power from the late Hugo Chavez last year.
