As of May 16 2026, the US government has ordered the Bolivian police and armed forces to kidnap ex-President Evo Morales and massacre a large portion of the country’s indigenous population. The Bolivian forces involved are under the joint command of the US Marines and the US Drug Enforcement Agency.
This operation involves a massive assault and invasion of a densely populated indigenous community in the tropics, where Evo Morales has mass support. The goal of this operation is threefold: exterminate the indigenous population in order to access their land for the extraction of natural resources like Lithium.
Evo Morales, leader of Bolivia’s “Movement for Socialism” party, was the country’s first ever Indigenous president. As a symbol of Indigenous power, he commands mass support from the Indigenous population, especially those residing in the Cochabamba region. This means that the U.S.-Bolivia joint invasion can result in nothing less than massacre and displacement.
Cochabamba maintains the highest Indigenous population in Bolivia, including the Quechua and Aymara peoples. The region is also the breadbasket of the country, and the agricultural labor is largely performed by campesinos (indigenous peasants).
The European settlers have been displacing and exterminating the Indigenous population ever since they began their invasion, and Cochabamba is one of the last major holdouts. But settlers, like a cancer, do not stop spreading unless they are removed. Settlement continues to escalate, and the penetration of Cochabamba is a necessary step in the process of Indigenous elimination.
Leaked documents from the of the Bolivian Police General Command make their intentions clear:
C) OPPONENT.
1) COMPOSITION.
• TROPICAL FEDERATIONS [rural agricultural labor unions]
• CAMPESINOS [rural Indigenous farmers/peasants]
• OTHER SECTORS.
They clearly highlight that the enemy is not a minor resistance group. It is every single indigenous person in Cochabamba, the breadbasket of the country.
The indigenous and their steadfast resistance are the only barrier in the way of the fertile land and natural resources like lithium—a key resource for the production of electric vehicles. This is why the Bolivian settler regime, in tandem with US imperialist interests, has initiated a mission to exterminate the entire indigenous population.
Imperialism and settler-colonialism are always prefaced by the containment or elimination of the country’s native population. But this has proven to be a historical impossibility, as shown by the struggles in Algeria, Palestine, and South Africa. National oppression will always be met by steadfast indigenous resistance.
