BOLIVIA’S MESA OFFERS TO RESIGN
Publis Pundit
Daniel in Yaracuy, Venezuela, has the first scoop here. He says the bleak scenario to follow is probably civil war.

We all knew this resignation was coming, but I’m still stunned. More coming up…

ASSOCIATED PRESS - First news item; says the country is possibly headed toward civil war now. The resignation is the handiwork of leftists.

ASSOCIATED PRESS: also has a short summary of the characters and issues at stake.

REUTERS: Congress has yet to decide whether it will accept the resignation or not. Evo Morales repeats his call for total nationalization of the gas industry.

BLOOMBERG: Water supplies have been cut off to La Paz, and protests are swelling. Commentators say this is no tactical resignation like last time, he’s really going for good and god knows what will follow. Companies stand to lose tens of billions in investment.

CATHOLIC WORLD NEWS: The new pope prays for peace in Bolivia. I guess he knows what comes from these kinds of situations, from experience.

HAARETZ: Israel airlifts all of its citizens from Bolivia amid strife and unrest.

XINHUA: Argentina calls for dialogue and understanding to resolve the situation. Sounds like they don’t have a clue what to do."
