French Guiana Rocked by General Strike to Protest Unemployment, Lack of Services
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In South America, French Guiana has been paralyzed by a general strike
protesting unemployment, the cost of living and the lack of public
services in the French territory. The general strike was the latest in a
series of protests that have rocked the territory in recent weeks. On
Monday, the French prime minister said he'd send a delegation to French
Guiana later in the week.
