Demonstrations have rocked Bolivia for more than two months. Protests have blocked the movement of goods, exacerbating fuel shortages. Some Bolivians lined up for days to buy gas. The upheaval is part of a broad level of unrest across the Andean region of Latin America, with significant political turmoil in Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia, causing intense anger among their populations.
A long-standing political rivalry has boiled over, with supporters of the president and his chief opponent clashing in the streets. Behind the discontent in Bolivia is a rupture within the Movement for Socialism, or MAS, marking a steep decline in influence for both the leftist party and former president Evo Morales, Bolivia's first Indigenous president.
