These two articles show Bolivia’s struggle to maintain its sovereignty under the government of Pres. Evo Morales. The first article describes the perverse relationship of “give and take” with the United States government on the coca production.
An interview with Pres. Morales himself, the second article describes the efforts of an indigenous majority to be represented in government for the first time in history.

Hundreds of Workers Held in Immigration Raid
Great concern in the Latino community is caused by the repeated raids that ICE, the immigration enforcement branch, is conducting in different states. It seems that President Bush's government not only wants to leave a legacy of a senseless war, a devastated economy and a declining international role of the United States but also is willing to attack the core values of this country by separating families, generating internal terror and hurting means of employment of thousands of hard working immigrants. Read on this chilling article about late procedures in Laurel, Miss. where hundreds of families were left without their bread winners.
