<p>A senior government official in the country’s south said 12 protesters died in a fire they started while storming the office of powerful militia during a rally there a day earlier.</p>
<p>The anti-government protests erupted on Friday after leaderless, spontaneous revolts were violently quelled earlier this month in the war-torn country.</p>
