More unrest during another day of anti government protest in Peru

More unrest during anti government protest in Peru. Protesters have been arriving in Lima from southern Andean provinces to demand the resignation of President Boluarte.

Trouble on the streets of the Peruvian capital Lima. Anti government Protestors have gathered for what is being called a ‘Great National Protest’. Peru has endured continuous instability since former president Pedro Castillo was impeached and removed from office in December. Buses and trucks full of protesters have been arriving from southern Andean provinces for what activists have called the "taking of Lima". They are demanding the resignation of President Dina Boluarte and new elections.

The New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she is to resign, confessing that she ‘no longer had enough in the tank’ to do the job. Ardern became the youngest female leader in the world when she took office in 2017.
