Evo Morales Remains Out of Sight as Allies Cite Dengue and Refuse to Reveal His Location

The former Bolivian leader remains out of sight under an unexecuted arrest order in a human-trafficking case.

Overview

  • Ex-senator Leonardo Loza and Radio Kawsachun Coca’s director say Morales contracted dengue and is recovering, with no independent medical confirmation presented.
  • Morales missed his Kawsachun Coca program for a second Sunday, and Loza filled in on air saying his whereabouts would not be disclosed for security and health reasons.
  • Bolivian outlet Red Uno reported his last public appearance was on January 10 at a union event, after which he stopped public activities and social media posts.
  • Supporter groups in the Trópico de Cochabamba claim they have reinforced his security and report unusual overflights near Lauca Ñ, assertions not independently verified.
  • Morales has been under a public investigation since 2024 for alleged aggravated human trafficking, and an order of apprehension remains in place but has not been executed.
