Bolivia unrest enters second week as US alleges 'ongoing coup'

Protests blocking roads and clashing with police in Bolivia's capital La Paz have entered a second week, shaking the center-right government of President Rodrigo Paz Pereira. The US has labeled the unrest an 'ongoing coup', while the president has expelled Colombia's ambassador over critical comments from leftist leader Gustavo Petro. Bolivia faces its worst economic crisis in decades, with fuel shortages and inflation exacerbated by unpopular subsidy cuts.
