Bolivia clears anti-government roadblocks after emergency decree, as patrol plane crash kills 6

Anti-government roadblocks in Bolivia, linked to coca growers’ unions, were partially cleared after President Rodrigo Paz declared a state of emergency, which was approved by parliament. A patrol plane crash killed six, including Air Force officers, while the government accuses former President Evo Morales of inciting protests. The crisis has caused over $2 billion in economic losses and ongoing fuel and food shortages.
