Bolivia Faces Turmoil as Morales' Hunger Strike Escalates Tensions

Amid economic crisis and political strife, Evo Morales demands dialogue with President Arce to resolve ongoing unrest.

Evo Morales, former Bolivian president, has begun a hunger strike to pressure the government into dialogue amid accusations of judicial persecution.
The conflict has intensified with the kidnapping of 200 military personnel by Morales' supporters, escalating the already tense situation.
Protests have blocked major roads for over 20 days, resulting in severe economic impacts estimated at $2.1 billion in losses.
Morales' supporters demand his candidacy for the 2025 presidential election and accuse President Luis Arce of mismanaging the economy.
The Bolivian government, while open to dialogue, insists discussions must focus on executive matters, excluding Morales' legal and electoral issues.
