Chile's President Sebastián Piñera has said his country is "at war" on a night that increased the death toll from the serious riots that erupted on Friday in the biggest wave of violence since the return of democracy in 1990. The riots, which began as a student protest against the increase in the metro ticket, have left 11 dead throughout the country. Over the past three decades, Chile have been one of South America's wealthuest countries. Piñera ordered a curfew on Saturday to try to calm the situation and handed over security control in the Santiago metropolitan area and other regions to the military authority.
