As the articles show, Morales was an outspoken critic of American imperialism and an ardent advocate for disarmament, sustainable development and the well-being of the people of Bolivia, especially the poor and the indigenous. <\/p>\n<p>As quoted in the <a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=18274\">article by Eric Zuesse<\/a>: &#8220;Without a doubt, the coup d\u2019\u00e9tat in Bolivia is part of the tradition of the old military coups sponsored by the United States since the end of World War II. However, this practice dates back even further, as the history books show us. That means that the soft coup that was applied against Manuel Zelaya in Honduras, Lugo in Paraguay and Dilma Rousseff in Brazil, has been abandoned and the old formulas have returned.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;old formula&#8221; is also evident in the continuing US attempts to promote a coup in Venezuela, as we have followed in CPNN: <a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=16324\">what is really happening in Venezuela?<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>* * * * * * * * * <\/p>\n<p>This question applies to the following articles in CPNN:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=21608\">\u2018Democracy Has Won\u2019: Year After Right-Wing Coup Against Evo Morales, Socialist Luis Arce Declares Victory in Bolivia Election<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=18274\">Bolivia: Post-Coup Update<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=15959\">Bolivia to Foster a Culture of Peace at UN<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=15008\">Bolivia: Evo Morales says the United States seeks to \u201cdevastate and impoverish\u201d Venezuela as did to Iraq and Libya<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=12512\">Bolivia calls for the preservation of South America as a zone of peace free of nuclear weapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=9453\">D\u00eda de la Madre Tierra (Earth Day), 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=8950\">Latin America and the Caribbean could be first developing region to eradicate hunger<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=4299\">Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela Agree to Defend Mother Earth at COP21<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presidents Correa (Ecuador), Morales (Bolivia) and Maduro (Venezuela) One does not need to search far to find the reasons why the United States was behind the coup d&#8217;etat that ousted President Evo Morales from Bolivia.
