Almost one million protesters took to the streets of Chile yesterday and stayed through the night in the biggest demonstrations since violence broke out in the capital a week ago.

So far at least 18 people have been killed, hundreds wounded, and millions of dollars worth of damage has been caused.

Traffic ground to a standstill in Santiago as truck and taxi drivers added their own protest over road tolls and public transport shut down early ahead of marches that grew throughout the afternoon.

Santiago governor, Karla Rubilar, said almost a million people marched in the capital - more than five percent of the country's population.

'Today is a historic day,' Rubilar wrote on Twitter. 'The Metropolitan Region is host to a peaceful march of almost one million people who represent a dream for a new Chile.'

Clotilde Soto, an 82-year-old retired teacher, said she was marching because she did not want to die without seeing change.

'Above all we need better salaries and better pensions, she said.

Protests that started over a hike in public transport fares boiled into riots, arson and looting that have killed at least 18 people, injured hundreds, brought more than 7,000 arrests and caused more than $1.4billion of losses to Chilean businesses.

If Chile don't have soldiers and Dss to shoot the crowds in order to help the government to stop the protests. Please send to president Buhari . Those people are the enemy of the state.
