The end of an era in Argentina.

The group of mothers of the disappeared in Argentina is due to hold its final 24-hour protest march after 25 years.

Between 10,000 and 30,000 people were killed or disappeared during military governments in the 1970s and 80s.


The leader of the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo said they would still hold weekly silent vigils to demand information on their children's whereabouts.

She said their "resistance protests" were over because they no longer had an enemy in the presidential palace.
