Bolivia declares emergency as El Niño drought hits 78,000 families

Bolivia has declared a nationwide state of emergency to mobilize resources against the severe impacts of the El Niño weather pattern. President Rodrigo Paz signed the decree on November 1, 2026, to address simultaneous drought and flooding risks. The current drought has already affected 78,000 families across six departments and resulted in the loss of over 75,000 cattle. Authorities warn that the El Niño, which may be the strongest in recorded history, will peak in late 2026 and could cause widespread global harm.

Bolivian Court Files Link 'MAGA's Man' to Attempted Femicide and Political Scandal

Argentine political consultant Fernando Cerimedo, a key figure in recent right-wing victories across Latin America, faces attempted femicide charges in Bolivia after his pregnant partner, Nadia Beller, survived a shooting. Prosecutors allege Cerimedo hired hitmen to silence Beller after she threatened to expose his corruption and domestic abuse. While Cerimedo denies involvement, claiming a left-wing conspiracy, court documents and witness testimonies suggest a deep entanglement between the accused and Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz’s administration, raising questions about U.S. influence in the region.

Bolivia Declares State of Emergency Over Persistent Protests

Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz has declared a state of emergency after weeks of protests that have disrupted supplies and paralyzed large parts of the country. The measure would empower authorities to clear roadblocks, with Congress required to approve within 72 hours. Protesters—led by miners, farmers and Indigenous groups—demand Paz’s resignation, reinstatement of fuel subsidies, and rollback of austerity. Paz, who says the unrest is a destabilization attempt, announced a deal with the Bolivian Workers’ Confederation, but roadblocks persist and clashes have caused deaths and arrests.

Bolivia deploys 3,500 troops to clear La Paz roadblocks as protests intensify

Bolivia dispatched about 3,500 soldiers and police to clear roadblocks around La Paz amid nationwide protests demanding President Rodrigo Paz's resignation. The operation, which began early Saturday, led to clashes, roughly 57 arrests, and reported deaths. Protests by miners, teachers, Indigenous groups and unions come amid an economic crisis, fuel shortages, and a government move away from subsidies and toward privatization. The demonstrations also pressured repeal of a controversial land reform, while the government emphasized humanitarian corridors to keep hospitals supplied.
