Former Bolivian President Evo Morales has embarked on a hunger strike in a bid to prompt a political dialogue with the government led by his one-time ally turned rival, President Luis Arce. The move comes amidst widespread protests in Bolivia, with Morales' supporters decrying what they perceive as his unjust persecution.
Morales, a prominent figure in Bolivian politics despite his tumultuous removal from office five years ago, began his hunger strike in Chapare, a coca-growing region where he enjoys significant support. He emphasized his desire for dialogue on both economic and political fronts without preconditions.
