Protests Demand Resignation of Guatemalan President After Firing of Top Anti-Corruption Prosecutor
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Guatemala, protests calling for the resignation of right-wing
President Alejandro Giammattei have intensified after the attorney
general fired the country's top anti-corruption prosecutor Friday. Juan
Francisco Sandoval fled Guatemala just hours after being ousted, fearing
for his life. Protesters are also condemning government corruption and
the deadly mishandling of the pandemic.
