Bolivia Roadblock Cleared After Five Days of Protests

Cochabamba Roadblock Cleared in Police Operation: A major highway connecting Cochabamba to the western region of Bolivia, blocked for five days by protestors, has been reopened following a police intervention. A Unitel Bolivia news report shows heavy machinery clearing away debris and a substantial police presence securing the area. The roadblock was part of ongoing protests in support of former president Evo Morales. According to a Unitel reporter on the scene, "The police operation began in the early hours of Friday and is expected to continue along this route into the interior of the country." The incident caused significant disruption to transport, with heavy goods vehicles stranded for days. The successful reopening of the road is a positive development, easing the logistical challenges faced by the region.
