People haven't given up in Bolivia following the coup. The indigenous city of El Alto, next to La Paz, is still fighting. Anti-coup protesters have been setting up road blocks last night and this morning. This is the district 'Ex Tranca' (vid: @RoseugeH)
@RoseugeH The problem facing those resisting the coup is that there's little leadership or direction now that Evo has been forced out. Those opposed to the coup have taken out their anger against buildings believed to be owned to coup leader Camacho (Sofia factory)
@RoseugeH In reality it's not owned by Camacho, but right-wing attacks on public media have meant very little verified information can be circulated, fake news on social media has filled the vacuum. The coup has won but hasn't been able to build a new functioning government, chaos rules.
@RoseugeH New reports that the police (loyal to the coup) are attacking the resistance in El Alto. The city is highly strategic, is one of only two exits out of La Paz and holds the city's international airport. The coup will need to take control of that, but will face tough resistance.
Crowds are attacking a police station in Chasquipampa, La Paz. The police have pledged loyalty to the coup, but they haven't been able to defeat Morales supporters or take full control of the city.
