Bolivia is in crisis.
Since May 6, roadblocks led by different groups including those allied to former president Evo Morales have paralyzed La Paz, cutting off food, fuel, medicine and oxygen. 60+ checkpoints. 3 women are dead. This is what you need to know. 🧵

The @pulitzercenter published in english our story about Chinese companies looting Bolivian gold. We hope this way more people could read it, and maybe the Goverment silence would be broken.

The brutality and oppressiveness of the Bolivian government against virtually anyone who opposes it really needs to get more coverage in the international press.

We express our solidarity with the people of #Bolivia as their peaceful demands for a constitutionally-mandated national census in #2023 continue to be attacked by the #Arce regime and by irregular violent pro-government groups and the police.
#URGENT: We alert the international community to the repression committed in recent days against civilian protesters in #Bolivia by irregular violent groups allied with the Government of Luis Arce, in conjunction with the Bolivian police. THREAD.

#Bolivia State media is deploying a disinformation strategy to cover-up violence by MAS. The state news agency ABI falsely reported that the rightwing UJC attacked and severely beat journalist rather than MAS militia, contradicting eye-witness accounts.

"there is not a single #Indigenous territory that is not threatened by some extractive activity in #Bolivia. #Extractivism is taking over, it is advancing, like in my territory, which is 100 percent within the #Madidi protected area" Great interview with @CuquiRuth (Spanish)👇
“A mí, en mi pueblo, me vienen amenazando por oponerme a la minería. Me dicen: ‘¿Qué vas a hacer cuando lleguen y te vuelen la cabeza con dinamita?'”, relata Ruth Alipaz, de @contiocap, sobre las amenazas que recibe por oponerse a la minería en Bolivia. ⬇️ es.mongabay.com/2022/02/entr…

Bolivia didn’t take significant steps in 2021 to ensure judicial independence through a thorough reform. The political use of the justice system continues to undermine the rule of law in the country.

“The MAS government has been very clever in constructing a false local and international narrative of care and protection for Mother Earth (Pachamama) and respect for human and indigenous rights, which in practice does not exist,” @alexvillca @contiocap #Bolivia
