Women prepare food for Potosi miners protesting in La Paz, July 27, 2015. For weeks, protesters from the southern Bolivian department of Potosi have called for the construction of hospitals, roads, a cement factory and an international airport to be built in their region as part of a 26-point plan for the government. The striking miners have long called for negotiations to resolve the conflict, putting the onus on President Evo Morales to respond. (Photo by David Mercado/Reuters)
