Indigenous Peoples are being massacred by the far-right Christian coup that took over Bolivia, with backing from the United States. President Evo Morales arrived in Mexico after Mexico granted Morales asylum and sent a plane for him. Although airspace was blocked temporarily by Bolivia and Peru, Morales made it to Mexico, after spending a night hiding under a blanket.

The leftist and charismatic former coca farmer has since called his ouster a "coup," and decried growing allegations of heavy-handed repression by security forces under interim president and former conservative lawmaker Jeanine Anez.
"The coup leaders massacre indigenous and humble people for asking for democracy," Morales said on Twitter late Friday, following reports of mounting deaths.
