La Paz, November 11
Bowing to widespread pressure to resign amid the anti-government protests in Bolivia, President Evo Morales has confirmed that he was stepping down after almost 14 years in power.
Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera also resigned after Morales stepped down on Sunday. The two men appeared together in a video, in which Morales lamented what he said was a "civic coup" against him and called on opposition leaders Carlos Mesa and Luis Fernando Camacho, whom he accused of staging the "coup" to oust him, not to "mistreat" Bolivians and "stop kicking" them. — IANS
