This is a typical blockade, a common tactic used hundreds or thousands of times per year in Bolivian protests. @FreddyteleSUR/1195799342730350592?s=19Permalink On twitter.com

The effect of blockades is always an interruption of normality and the economy. At Senkata that means that deliveries of natural gas canisters for La Paz and El Alto will begin to be held up.Permalink On twitter.com

In October 2003, protesters demanding (inter alia) the nationalization of gas blockaded this spot. The military convoy that attempted to break the blockade set off a citywide massacre.Permalink On twitter.com

Many protests since have met at or marched to or from Senkata in remembrance and echo of the 2003 events. But I don't think the military has done so until now.Permalink On twitter.com

A different perspective from journalist @tonnylp: debates between locals and the mobilized crowds at Senkata. The former are booed when they call for demobilization. @tonnylp/1196148999398547457?s=19Permalink On twitter.com

@tonnylp Reportedly, police commander Rodolfo Montero has been seeking an agreement to end the Senkata blockade. (NB: I have no idea who is publishing the Bolivian govt newspaper Cambio at the moment.) cambio.bo/?q=node/78367Permalink On twitter.com

@tonnylp Radio journalist @ELEchoqueM claims that any imminent attack on the Senkata blockade is #misinformation; points out several tweets circulating depict the military presence in El Alto engaged in patrols, not attacks. @ELEchoqueM/1196173136963743744On twitter.com
