Bolivia's interim government says protests are waning while supporters of ousted leader Evo Morales seek resignation of interim leader and elections in three months
Interim interior minister says the number of trouble spots is"down by half," as six coca-growers' unions seek provisional leader Jeanine Anez's resignation"within 48 hours" and fresh elections within 90 days.
The protests that forced Morales to seek asylum in Mexico have continued, primarily around the central city of Cochabamba, where violent clashes erupted on Friday between coca growers and both army troops and police.Murillo angered opposition groups by suggesting that the coca growers might even have shot some of their own supporters to generate sympathy.
Becker told AFP by phone that he had interviewed 50 people in Sacaba and that all insisted that none of the civilian protesters had firearms.From Mexico, Morales lashed out at the killings, tweeting that "these crimes against humanity ... must not go unpunished." Presidential minister Jerjes Justiniano insisted the decree did not give troops "a license to kill" but merely provided constitutional underpinning for their efforts to keep the peace.
