Former Bolivian president Evo Morales has once again placed himself at the center of political controversy after publishing a lengthy social media statement claiming that an international operation is allegedly being prepared to capture—or even kill—him.
According to Morales, the United States ordered the Bolivian government to carry out a military operation against him with support from the DEA, U.S. Southern Command, and several units of Bolivia’s armed forces.
Morales claimed the alleged operation is taking place in the Cochabamba Tropics, a region that has served as his political and union stronghold for decades.
In his statement, Morales accused political figures tied to Bolivia’s past governments of helping orchestrate the supposed operation, including former minister Carlos Sánchez Berzaín, who served under former Bolivian president Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada.
