          1. With the death of Julio Pinto Mamani, the death toll from the Bolivian crisis of 2019 rises to 38. Police and military were responsible for at least 26, and as many as 29 deaths in the aftermath of Evo Morales’ ouster. @OllieVargas79/1271465834800656386

          Security forces opened fire on large numbers of civilians, wounding scores and ultimately killing at least ten in Sacaba (Nov 15) and eleven in Senkata (Nov 19). These figures include two protesters who have died recently.

        In ten days, the police and military killed more protesters than they had in the previous ten years (21). Senkata & Sacaba were the deadliest individual days of violence since the anti-Morales Porvenir massacre on Sep 11, 2008.

      Overall the 38 deaths were caused Oct 29-Nov 19… Four of the deaths were caused by civilian supporters of Evo Morales before he resigned, while one pro-Morales journalist suffered a likely fatal beating.

    Seven civilians and two police officers died during two days of interim military rule. Finally, twenty-four civilians were killed after the swearing in of President Jeanine Áñez, all but one of them by joint military-police operations in response to protests.

      Most deaths stem from the interim military and Añez government decision to reverse the order given by President Carlos Mesa in January 2005 to restrict military involvement in policing protest.

        As many as five of those killed by security forces at Senkata and nine altogether may have been bystanders not participating in protest.
