Mr Morales, the country's leader for nearly 14 years, said in televised comments that he would submit his resignation letter in order to help restore stability, though he aimed barbs at what he called a"civic coup". "Likewise, we ask the Bolivian people and mobilised sectors to shed attitudes of violence and disorder among brothers so as not to stain our families with blood, pain and mourning."

Getvit right. This is a CIA-backed & orchestrated counter-revolutionary & reactionary coup (how else do you describe it when the military compels a democratically elected leader to stand down?). Expect an unravelling of indigenous emancipation & vulture capitalists to swoop in.
Sad that you don't have the guts to call it out for it really is: a coup! When the Commander of the Armed Forces demands the President to resign, it's not a resignation, it's a military coup d'tat.
You mean fascist right wing military coup overthrow a democratically elected indigenous world leader. Morales had stated himself after independent review of the election, that he would happily hold another one that had independent oversight of the election.
'I denounce to the world and the Bolivian people that a police officer publicly announced that he is instructed to execute an illegal arrest warrant against me; likewise, violent groups assaulted my home. The coup destroys the rule of law.' evoespueblo
Of course, the United States provides advisers and material support to the violent opposition to democracy.
The charges of election fraud are proven false. This was a coup of the capital owning minority against a democratic majority they could not beat legally.
It's a fascist coup
This is a coup! amid US interference again! Mention that in your article?
No point sugar coating it. Wannabe socialist dictator Morales runs away rather than risk taking a bullet in the head.
Only TheirABC could do a story on Morales and not mention the word Socialist once
