"Cockroach Janta party began as online joke but is growing into one of the most unexpected challenges to [India's] rightwing government
Much of the “cockroach” movement has been mobilised around mounting student distress over exam chaos, after this year’s medical entrance exam – more than 2 million students compete for just 130,000 places – was once again leaked to the highest bidder, forcing it to be scrapped and for students to face retaking the gruelling tests."

Bolivia protests "Demanding the resignation of conservative President Rodrigo Paz. Battered by rising inflation and low wages, many protesters accuse Paz of neglecting them since they helped vote him into office.
