Bolivia bars US anti-drug agents

2008-10-01 (Wednesday), RNW
Bolivia has prohibited staff of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration from working in the country. Bolivian President Evo Morales has implemented the ban because he suspects the US anti-drug agents of spying. He accuses the agents of supporting Bolivian anti-government groups that staged violent protests in a number of Bolivian provinces in September. Mr Morales did not specify whether the DEA agents would have to leave Bolivia.

Relations between Bolivia and the US have long been strained. In September Mr Morales expelled the US ambassador for interfering in domestic affairs. In response, the US ejected the Bolivian envoy. Washington has also withdrawn Bolivia's trade privileges because it claims the country fails to cooperate sufficiently in combating drugs trafficking.
