Riots rage in Chile as gas price hike fuels flames of anger

Riots are raging in southern Chile with two women killed and four others injured. Protesters are out in anger at gas price increases, which are reportedly due to troubles experienced by the state-owned petroleum company. 21 people have been arrested. With gas one of the country's main imports, the price rise counters promises made by the country's President Pinera.

I always see strikes and protest in Europe or in other sites, of people struggling for their rights. I think it's the first time in my lifetime that I see the people of my country doing the same thing! I hope this will be the begining of a citizen revolution in Chile :)
