      Police clashed with protesters as they started fires and smashed windows in shops, banks and other establishments in Mexico City on Monday night following a rally for 43 missing students and against Mexican President Pena Nieto.

      Earlier on Monday evening, thousands of protesters gathered at the Angel of Independence holding signs reading "A president, not a tyrant. A country not a morgue" and chanted "Pena out." One speaker who addressed the rally said that Nieto would never be accepted as a "part of the Ayotzinapa movement."

      Forty-three students from Ayotzinapa went missing on September 26 after being detained by police in Iguala, a town in the state of Guerrero. Thousands have protested since, calling for justice and the safe return of the missing students.
