    I wish this post had included the link to Morales’ tweet, rather than just linking to another lemmy instance’s post that had it.

    Machine translation:

    The United States ordered the government of Rodrigo Paz to carry out a military operation, with support from the DEA and the U.S. Southern Command, to arrest me or kill me. Among those promoting this action are the former Minister of Government under Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada—who fled to Miami after the Black October Massacre (2003)—Carlos “Zorro” Sánchez Berzaín; and the Vice Minister of Social Defense, Ernesto Justiniano, who is in Washington.

    Before that, the government launched an intense campaign of defamation, insults, and baseless accusations, with the advice of foreign experts in dirty war tactics and fake news, such as Argentine Fernando Cerimedo, sent to Bolivia by right-wing Javier Milei, whose smear operations have already been exposed by honest Bolivian journalists.

    Present in the Tropic region are:

    • Ninth Army Division: Commander Colonel Franz Andrade Loza. The government promised to promote him to general and appoint him commander of the >Armed Forces if he “finishes off” Evo.
    • The F-10 unit, under the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces (General Víctor Hugo Balderrama), led by Lieutenant Colonel Carlos Giménez Ortuño, former aide to Jeanine Áñez’s Defense Minister, Fernando López.
    • The CITE (paratrooper military unit), commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Santiestevan, who was imprisoned for the massacres under the Áñez regime in Sacaba and Senkata.
    • The CIE 298 (Army Intelligence Company), whose members trained in Cotapachi to carry out the operation in the Tropic.
    • F-10 snipers from the Ranger Regiment of Challapata.
    • Dozens of military personnel from the Ingavi VII Sajama Battalion, including senior colonels, captains, lieutenants, and non-commissioned officers.

    Bolivian military forces will be under the command of U.S. Marines and Paraguayan DEA agents, who do not care about massacring brothers and sisters living in the Tropic.
