Bolivia gas plans trigger unrest
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3112272.stm
Protesters in Bolivia have launched a series of strikes and set up
roadblocks across the country to show their opposition to government
plans to export natural gas.
The protesters - most of them indigenous Aymara Indians - are blocking
major roads linking the country's capital, La Paz, with other towns in
Bolivia and also with neighbouring Chile and Peru.

Coca politics
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2003/09/28/coca_politics/
In Bolivia, coca growers have turned the 'sacred leaf' into a national
symbol
By Jeremy Mumford, 9/28/2003
EARLIER THIS MONTH, the United Nations reported that Colombia's coca
crop production has fallen 32 percent since the beginning of the year.
Champions of the US-financed eradication campaign declared a victory
for the Bush administration's drug policy, but others noted that
production is rising in nearby Peru and Bolivia. Indeed, in Bolivia, a
defiant and popular grass-roots movement has come to identify the coca
leaf with the spirit and future of the nation itself. If the United
States is winning the drug war on one front, it may be losing it
elsewhere -- and badly.

The ousting of Bolivia's president is a warning that the demands of
Latin America's poor cannot be ignored
Isabel Hilton
Tuesday October 21, 2003
The Guardian
Bolivia's president of 15 months, Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, was
protesting to the last when he finally resigned on Friday after months
of street protests. His resignation, he remarked sourly, was a blow
for democracy in Bolivia and Latin America.
The president's democratic credentials were not impeccable: he was
elected, certainly, but with only 22% of the vote. By last week, he
retained the loyalty of less than half of even the small minority who
had actually voted for him. He presided over government forces that
shot 50 demonstrators dead in the days leading up to his resignation.
