Chilean Minister Resigns Over crippling transit strike
Gen Cesar Ruiz resigned as Chile transport and public works minister after a futile bid to resolve a nationwide transport strike. He also left the post as air force chief, with Gen Humberto Magliochetti named to replace him in the cabinet. The strike began July 26 with truck owners and spread to buses and taxis, provoking military involvement and fears over food and fuel shortages as vegetables rot and livestock perish.
