Wilmaris Villarroel/via REUTERSDec 15 (Reuters) - Protests triggered by Peru's developing political crisis have stranded dozens of tourists, including children, in a remote mountain town for over 48 hours as locals refuse passage to Bolivia, a member of the group told Reuters. The Dec. 7 ouster of former President Pedro Castillo has sparked deadly street protests across Peru, as well as highway and train blockades that have stranded hundreds of tourists at Peru's Machu Picchu ruins. Villarroel told Reuters that locals would not let the group, which she says includes elderly people and children, continue their journey. Villarroel added that the buses' Bolivian drivers have been unwilling or unable to turn around, and that police presence has been minimal. Meanwhile, efforts to secure aid from foreign embassies in Peru have been unsuccessful, Villarroel said.

The drought has hit crops in Bolivia as well as in Argentina, Paraguay and Peru. In the Andean regions, drought in recent years has caused falling water reservoir levels in places like Chile and led to important glaciers retreating. Drought has hit crops like wheat and soy, including this year in major grains producer Argentina.

REUTERS/Claudia Morales/File PhotoSANTIAGO, Nov 12 (Reuters) - With flavors ranging from bubble gum to passion fruit and TikTok stars promoting it, chewing coca has become the latest chic trend in Bolivia. Andean villagers have chewed coca leaves - the base ingredient of cocaine - for centuries to help ward off the effects of high altitude and hunger. Consumption of the leaves is legal in Bolivia and coca is considered by many in the region as a sacred plant. To the traditional "bolo" of coca leaves and baking soda enterprising locals are adding sweeteners and flavoring.
SAO PAULO, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Latin America leaders on Sunday congratulated Brazil's Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva after he won a third term as president of the largest country in South America, consolidating the region's "pink tide" of elected leftist leaders. His victory over far-right president Jair Bolsonaro leaves Brazil joining Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Peru in a growing leftist bloc. "Long live Lula," tweeted Colombia's Gustavo Petro, who in June was elected his country's first leftist president. But the pink tide returned as rampant inflation and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic led frustrated voters in Latin America to ditch mainstream parties and follow promises of greater social spending. "Your victory strengthens democracy and integration in Latin America."

LA PAZ, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Thousands of people in Bolivia launched an indefinite strike on Saturday in the lowland city of Santa Cruz, a major agriculture export hub, to protest the postponement of a population and housing census which delays access to more economic resources. One death was reported by police in clashes between people who accepted the strike and those who wanted to reject it. The results of the census are important for the distribution of economic resources and defining the seats in the Bolivian parliament. Lawmakers have called for calm and agreed to continue talks until an agreement is reached that can stop the indefinite strike.

Lukaşenko acuză Occidentul că încearcă să „destabilizeze” situaţia din țara sa, pentru a o readuce în situația de anul trecut, când după alegerile prezidenţiale din august au izbucnit proteste de masă care denunțau fraude. Vladimir Putin a subliniat că nu a existat o astfel de reacţie de indignare în Uniunea Europeană atunci când avionul care îl transporta pe preşedintele bolivian a fost constrâns să aterizeze la Viena, la cererea SUA. „Au obligat avionul preşedintelui Boliviei să aterizeze, pe preşedinte l-au dat jos din avion şi nimic, tăcere!” a arătat Putin. Cu o zi înainte, Evo Morales, care participase în Rusia la o conferință pe tema gazelor naturale, declarase într-un interviu pentru televiziunea rusă că este dispus să-i acorde azil politic lui Snowden. La Viena, avionul lui Evo Morales a fost percheziționat, iar președintele Boliviei a fost nevoit să-și petreacă o noapte în Austria înainte ca aeronava să primească permisiunea de a decola.
