Evo Morales, the democratically elected President of Bolivia, was forced from office by a military coup immediately after his election, with plenty of evidence to suggest it was backed by the United States. In his former terms as President, by all counts, he led Bolivia into extraordinary progress away from social inequality, poverty, crime and illiteracy. But it sadly appears that his compassion, honesty and integrity has given him both great strength and great vulnerability, ultimately upsetting many of the “powers that be,” and resulting in his being illegally ejected from his office and even from his own country.
