Paraguayan farmers try to find their shoes that they lost, when a protest march against the Attorney General turned into a street battle with riot police, in Asuncion November 5, 2008. Paraguay's government sent dozens of extra police on Friday to a poor rural region where peasant farmers demanding land redistribution have threatened to invade Brazilian-owned ranches. Tensions have risen in the Paraguayan countryside since President Fernando Lugo, a former Roman Catholic bishop, took office in August, vowing to make land reform a priority for his center-left administration.
