end of the strike

Yesterday a group representing the president came to Cajamarca to negotiate with the leaders of the protest.  After 9 hours of negotiation, they came out saying that negotiations had broken down and since the protesters were determined to continue the strike, a state of emergency was declared.  That technically means that the military is enforcing martial law to establish order.  I suppose all the roads are open now.  It hasn't been at all as I expected though. There have been no clashes between military and protesters.  There is no curfew.  I had to go to do some errands today, and it's as though all signs of the protest have evaporated and it's business as usual.  In fact in the hour I was out and about I only saw 2 soldiers... at the mall buying ice cream.

This article explains it well.
