Bolivia Blockades Paused: Investigation Launched After Six Deaths

Road blockades in Bolivia come to a temporary halt after 14 days of protests and six deaths. The Evista Pacto de Unidad and the State Mayor of the People announced a "humanitarian pause" to allow for an investigation into the government's response, which included police and military intervention. The groups involved stated that the pause is not an end to their actions, and that they plan to continue their protests in other forms. "This pause is only temporary," said one protest leader in a statement released to the press. "We will continue to fight until our demands are met." The government has yet to respond to the announcement of the humanitarian pause. The situation remains tense, with potential for further escalation.
