“At least three people were shot dead as violence erupted during anti-government protests in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, on Wednesday. Students in the western states of Tachira and Merida have been at the forefront of the protests, saying they are fed up with the lack of security and the poor state of Venezuela’s economy. The country has the highest inflation rate in the region at 56.2% in 2013, according to official figures. It is also beset by shortages, with shoppers often having to search a number of supermarkets for staples such as milk and toilet paper. The government has blamed the shortages on ‘saboteurs’ and ‘profit-hungry corrupt businessmen’.”
