VENEZUELA-POLITICS-OPPOSITION-PROTEST

Opponents of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro hold a Venezuelan flag during an anti-government protest in Caracas on February 27, 2014. Dueling demos of pro- and anti-government protesters have been taking to the streets since February 4 in a sign of the deep polarization of this oil-rich but economically and social troubled country, where three weeks of demonstrations have left 14 people dead, posing the greatest challenge yet to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s 11-month-old government.
