Clashes between demonstrators and police broke out in Chile's capital.<br/> The violence erupted during the annual march held in remembrance of a military coup which ended the rule of Marxist President Salvador Allende.<br/> Youths blocked roads, threw rocks and set fire to piles of trash at intersections.<br/> Police used water cannons and teargas.<br/> This is the latest social unrest to spring up against the country's current conservative billionaire President.<br/> In recent months, hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets calling for a greater distribution of income, as copper prices boom.<br/> As the world's top producer of the metal, the rise in prices has given the economy a boost.<br/> But many ordinary Chileans feel they are not sharing the nation's economic miracle.<br/> Marie-Claire Fennessy, Reuters
