Bolivia is on the Brink of a Civil War and its Economy is Collapsing

"Bolivia has been on the brink of civil war for weeks. In recent months, the country has faced a coup. Two assassination attempts against Evo Morales. One of them involving 14 shots fired at his vehicle and a surge of street violence that looks more like Syria than a democracy. 

What's most alarming is that this isn't an isolated or short-lived episode. It's a symptom
of a deeper structural collapse.
Violence in Bolivia, five dead in clashes between police and Evo Morales supporters. The country is split in two. On one side, there's the government of Luis Ar, weakened, out of

fuel, short on dollars, and with no solutions, but still holding formal political power. On the other, there's Evo Morales, now a fugitive from justice, accused of pedophilia, human trafficking, and attempting a coup. Yet, he still controls the Chapar region as if it were his own personal stronghold. dug in against the law. The state doesn't enter there. EVO does, and they welcome him like a king. 

Meanwhile, outside that territory, the streets are on fire. Dynamite against police, buses set ablaze, blockades in key cities, and an economy that hasn't just stalled, it has collapsed. Inflation has climbed to nearly 25%. Foreign reserves are on the brink of running out, and the government is already printing unbacked money in a bid to survive. In just a decade, Bolivia has gone from being the economic miracle of South America to a failed state. And that's no exaggeration. In 2014, Bolivia had over 15 billion in reserves. Today, it barely tops 1.7 billion. The irony is that Bolivia had everything it needed to succeed. Gas, lithium, fertile land, and a young population. But it failed to use that wealth to lay the foundations of a strong economy." VEEN
