Bolivian leader calls emergency, deploys military
Bolivia's government declared a 90-day state of emergency and deployed military forces to clear roadblocks set up by protesters, including unions, Indigenous groups, and coca farmers, who have been demonstrating against the conservative administration.

The president aims to restore normalcy by suppressing the blockades, which protesters oppose, demanding the government abandon reforms and step down.
