Supporters of Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez react to the announcement of his death in Caracas

Supporters of Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez react to the announcement of his death outside the hospital where he was being treated, in Caracas, March 5, 2013. Chavez died on Tuesday after a two-year battle with cancer, ending 14 years of tumultuous rule that made the socialist leader a hero for the poor but a hate figure to his opponents. The banner reads, “Chavez, our liberator in the 21st Century.” REUTERS/Carlos Garcia Rawlins (VENEZUELA – Tags: OBITUARY POLITICS)
