Coup Attempt Unfolds in Bolivia, President Calls for Mobilization La Paz, Bolivia – A coup attempt is underway in Bolivia as supporters of former President Evo Morales have seized key government buildings and military installations. President Luis Arce has called on citizens to mobilize and defend democracy. According to witnesses and local media, armed individuals have taken control of government offices, including the presidential palace, Congress, and the presidential guard headquarters. Reports also indicate that military personnel have joined the rebellion. President Arce has condemned the situation as a “coup attempt” and has called on the armed forces to remain loyal to the constitution. He has also urged citizens to take to the streets and defend their democracy. “I call on all Bolivians to rise up and defend democracy,” Arce said in a televised address. “We will not allow a dictatorship to return to our country.” The coup attempt comes as Bolivia is still grappling with the political fallout from the controversial 2019 election that led to Morales’ resignation. Morales, who had been in power for 14 years, has accused the current government of orchestrating a coup against him. The international community has expressed concern over the situation in Bolivia and has called for a peaceful resolution. The United Nations and the Organization of American States have both issued statements condemning the violence and urging a return to constitutional order. The outcome of this coup attempt remains uncertain. However, it has raised serious concerns about the future of democracy in Bolivia and the stability of the region.Hopeson Adorye’s Case Adjourned for Attorney General’s AdviceHopeson Adorye’s Case Adjourned for Attorney General’s Advice The prosecution in the Hopeson Adorye case has submitted the duplicate case file to the Attorney General’s Office for advice.
