More deaths, coup d'état lurking and state of emergency in Bolivia

14-10-2003 09:44

LinksRhein - 29.09.2003 16:11

"Urgent. The situation is critical, the people resist and there is a massacre looming", so the cry for help on the frontpage of Indymedia Bolivia. Yesterday the civilian strike was continued in El Alto, the police and the military for repression and another person died. There is much anger in the population and they state, that they keep on protesting untill the "Gringo" resigns. They declare, that the city "La Paz" supports the protests, that "the Gas is for all and we have to defend it."

25 killed in "War for Gas" on Sunday 13th of october, Bolivia

In the massacre yesterday in El Alto at least 25 people died, 94 were injured.
Many injured couldn't be recovered because police and military were shooting on everything moving.
Corpses were also transported away by the military so that the exact number of deaths is unknown.
For El Alto the state of emergency has been declared, so has martial law. Under the pressure of the protest the government has announced at a press conference this monday, that they suspend the gas exports for the time being and want to start a dialog with the social movements till the end of this year.
Nevertheless, they still continue to play down the number of deads to be 5 (amongst them a soldier).

No way to Lapaz

Kein Durchkommen nach Lapaz

From Peru it is at the moment impossible to get to Lapaz.
Campesinos have blocked the road connecting Puno-Lapaz.
Also the traffic on the Tikaka Lake to Bolivia has been stopped.
It is interesting that here in Peru, the "Gas" problem isn't mentioned. It is said, that the farmers would oppose the destruction of their COCA fields by the government.
