BOLIVIA: Bolivia and the US try again
The government of President Evo Morales and its US counterpart appeared to have overcome a three-year impasse last month with the signing of a framework agreement restoring bilateral relations. These had been severed in 2008 following the crisis sparked by the spying allegations involving the then-US envoy to La Paz, Philip Goldberg, which resulted in the expulsion of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The new relationship has yet to be sealed with the appointment of new ambassadors and the enduring sensitivity of certain areas – namely anti-drugs cooperation which remains problematic due to Washington’s resistance to Morales’s ‘coca sí, cocaína no’ platform – has already been exposed with the last minute failure to sign a key counter-narcotics accord.
