Thousands took to the streets in several major cities and small towns in Guatemala on Thursday Sep 20,2018, demanding the resignation of dozens of legislators and officials, including President Jimmy Morales.
The protests were prompted by Morales's decision last month to not renew the UN-backed International Commission Against Impunity's (CICIG) mandate, which is set to expire in September 2019.
Thursday's protests were organised in small towns, as well as urban centres, including in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala's second-largest city where civic groups organised marches through the city.
