Demonstrators clashed with riot police in Mexico City's iconic Zocalo square after thousands marched

(21 Nov 2014) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 2033627 Demonstrators clashed with riot police in Mexico City's iconic Zocalo square after thousands marched Thursday demanding that authorities find 43 missing college students, seeking to pressure the government on a day normally reserved for the celebration of Mexico's 1910-17 Revolution. After most of the protesters left the square, a small group of masked youths began battling police with rocks and sticks. Demonstrators tried to bring down barricades protecting the National Palace and throw incendiary bombs to the police officers guarding the building. Police responded with fire extinguishers to put out fires set by the youths and to force them off of the square. Officials had canceled the traditional Nov. 20 Revolution Day parade, and marchers carrying "mourning" flags with Mexico's red and green national colors substituted by black suggested the country was in no mood for celebration. The march in Mexico City was largely peaceful, in contrast to recent protests that have ended with the burning of government buildings in Guerrero state, where the students disappeared. The protesters converged on the city's main square, where families of the missing students stood on a platform in front of the National Palace holding posters of their relatives' faces. Amid chants for President Enrique Pena Nieto to step down, family members repeated that they do not believe the government's account that the youths were killed by a drug gang. Mexico officially lists 22,322 people as having gone missing since the start of the country's drug war in 2006. And the search for the missing students has turned up other, unrelated mass graves. The 43 students, who attended a radical rural teachers college known as Ayotzinapa, disappeared after they went to the Guerrero city of Iguala to hijack buses.
