Bolivian Indians and peasants, enroute to the countrys capital, march in protest
Bolivian Indians and peasants, enroute to the countrys capital, march in protest in the city of El Alto, 15 km (10 miles) south of La Paz, Bolivia May 23, 2005. Protesters in the militant indigenous city of El Alto - overlooking the capital La Paz and site of the international airport - began an indefinite strike on Monday over the controversial energy law approved last week by Congress, demanding natioanlisation of gas resources. Bolivias two major conflicts - indigenous protests over natural gas and wealthy provinces wish for autonomy - converge this week as both movements pile pressure on embattled President Carlos Mesa.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by David Mercado, Bolivian Indians and peasants are seen marching in protest towards the country's capital. The image was taken in the city of El Alto, located 15 km (10 miles) south of La Paz, Bolivia on May 23,2005. The protesters belong to the militant indigenous community residing in El Alto, which overlooks the capital and houses the international airport. Fueled by their discontent over a controversial energy law recently passed by Congress, they initiated an indefinite strike demanding nationalization of gas resources. This demonstration coincides with another major conflict brewing in Bolivia at that time - wealthy provinces seeking autonomy. These two movements converge during this critical week as both groups exert pressure on President Carlos Mesa who is already grappling with multiple challenges. The indigenous protests against natural gas exploitation and demands for greater control over resources clash with wealthy regions' aspirations for self-governance. Mercado's photograph encapsulates the determination and unity displayed by these Bolivian Indians and peasants as they march together towards their nation's capital to voice their grievances. It serves as a poignant reminder of how ordinary citizens can come together to fight for what they believe is right despite facing significant obstacles along their path to justice and equality.
