City of Lima, Peru –
Protests against the government of Peruvian President Dina Boluarte that have killed 47 people since they began a month ago are spreading across the southern Andean country with new clashes reported in the du Cusco calendar.
Health officials in Cusco said 16 civilians and six police officers were injured after protesters tried to take over the city’s airport. Protests and street blockades against Boluarte and in support of ousted President Pedro Castillo also took place in 41 provinces, mainly in southern Peru.
The unrest began in early December following Castillo’s ouster and arrest following an attempt to dissolve Congress and fight his own impeachment.
