Former Bolivian President Evo Morales flys off to Mexico after being granted asylum as his supporters and opponents clash on the streets of La Paz

Police clash with supporters of former President Evo Morales on the south side of La Paz, Bolivia, Monday, Nov. 11, 2019.

Morales tweeted that he was leaving Monday evening, and Mexico's Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard confirmed in a tweet that Morales was on a plane sent by Mexico City. "Please excuse me if my voice breaks," Anez said between tears after arriving in Congress under heavy guard. Worried about a possible escalation in the violence, the armed forces agreed to work alongside police.

But in downtown La Paz, anti-Morales demonstrators bracing for clashes set tires and other barricades ablaze as people went onto their rooftops to yell, "Evo murderer!" Rock-throwing demonstrators also clashed in Cochabamba and other cities. There were no immediate signs that the military itself was maneuvering for power, although analysts warned the power vacuum opened up space for the military to potentially step in.
