Bolivian President Evo Morales decreed a state of siege and sent troops Friday to an eastern province where at least eight people were killed in street battles between pro- and anti-government activists. Troops took control of the airport in Cobija, the capital of Pando province, and fired shots to disperse Protesters. Opposition Sen. Ronal Camargo and Fides radio reported one person was killed and several wounded in the operation. But that information was not confirmed by Defense Minister Walker San Miguel, who announced the government decree alongside Bolivia's interior minister. The state of siege, which prohibits people from gathering or carrying weapons, aims "to safeguard lives and the collective good," Interior Minister Alfredo Rada told reporters. The move came hours after Morales and opposition governors from four eastern provinces that are in open revolt against him agreed to talks on ending the crisis. ...

Soldiers arrested an opposition governor Tuesday on suspicion of directing a massacre of government supporters, as Bolivia's political crisis prompted the Washington to put the nation on an anti-drug blacklist and evacuate its Peace Corps volunteers. Violent protests against President Evo Morales have swept Bolivia's eastern lowlands, where opposition-controlled provinces are demanding a larger share of the country's natural gas wealth and trying to block his attempts to direct resources to the long-suffering indigenous majority. The arrest of Leopoldo Fernandez, governor of the remote Amazonian province of Pando, had seemed to jeopardize attempts to seek compromise after anti-Morales Protesters ransacked government offices in Pando and three other eastern provinces last week. But the two sides took a step toward detente by signing a pledge to return to talks, the Bolivian state news agency reported. The pact requires anti-Morales Protesters to cede control of government buildings and gas pipeline installations, while Morales supporters must call off their counter-demonstrations in support of Bolivia's first indigenous president. Eastern Bolivia has long resisted Morales' sweeping socialist reforms, battling him over the distribution of natural gas revenues and a plan to redistribute fallow land to the poor. Last week's protests targeted a referendum on a proposed constitution that among other changes would let Morales run for re ... Source: www.oilweek.com --- 29 days ago
