1:29Now PlayingThousands of anti-government protesters turned out again across Colombia on Wednesday, as the demonstrations against President Ivan Duque continue for the eighth day in a row.
Deadly clashes between police and the demonstrators led to dozens being injured over the course of the day.
The demonstrators, which included union members, students and indigenous people, rallied in various parts of Colombia's capital, Bogota. Many of the protesters carried signs calling for Duque's resignation.
The Bogota's mayor office said 30 civilians and 16 officers were injured during attacks on police stations Wednesday.
Protests also took place in the major cities of Medellin and Cali.
Road blockades manned by demonstrators have sprung up in parts of the country, impeding trade. The head of a Colombian federation of coffee growers said product could not be exported out of the major port city of Buenaventura as of Wednesday, due to the blockades.
