Bolivian Military Storms Presidential Palace
Armed Forces Attempt to Overthrow Morales Government
Troops Withdraw After Failing to Secure Building
La Paz, Bolivia (AP) - Armored vehicles rammed the doors of Bolivia's government palace on Wednesday in an attempt to overthrow the socialist government of President Evo Morales. The military stormed the building, but failed to secure it and troops have since begun to withdraw from the area. The attack came amid a political crisis in Bolivia following the disputed 2019 general election. Morales had been declared the winner, but the opposition alleged fraud and protests erupted across the country. The military's actions have been condemned by Morales and his supporters, who accuse them of attempting a coup. The opposition, however, has welcomed the military's intervention, saying it is necessary to restore order and ensure fair elections. The situation in Bolivia remains tense, and it is unclear what will happen next. Morales has called for dialogue and negotiations, but the opposition has rejected his offer. It is possible that the military will continue to play a role in the crisis, and analysts are closely watching events to see how the situation will unfold.
