NICARAGUA, Managua: A man draped with the flag of Nicaragua watches riot police as thousands of rural residents set to be affected by the multi-billion dollar Nicaragua Interoceanic Grand Canal stage a protest in Managua, Nicaragua on October 27, 2015. The group attempted to reach parliament to protest a law authorising the construction of the canal by Chinese firm HKND Group, but the area was cordoned off by police.
