Women from Potosi department hold a pigeon 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. REUTERS/David Mercado
