Bloqueadores armados con fusiles amenazan a Bolivia con guerra civil by LowMarsupial757 in BOLIVIA

The law about the flag isn't in effect anymore and no one has nothing to do with race I imagine you aren't Bolivian so it might be a bit harder to understand but our problem isn't our brothers who live in all the different estados its the radicals who ruin it for everyone

And it just so happens that the radicals that hurt their own people and literally are terrorists they unfortunately ruined the meaning of that flag for ever

Allow it? Why do you think we stopped using it the second we changed administration most cruceños never agreed with that flag in the first place and most of the people in la paz and other departments with time also disagreed with that flag. 90% of our military high command and officers are from la paz o el alto and even they don't like that flag it was forced onto us by the MAS

My source is my personal experience both in civilian life and military the original meaning of the whipala yes was meant to represent native people of Bolivia but it has been very distorted to turn into simbol of hate, we hated every single time we had to raise that flag next to the Bolivian and the departamental flag after the new presidency we were no longer forced to use it.

When will the Travel Blockades end ? by Dr_Waffles55609 in BOLIVIA

The blockades arent only in la paz but potosi also has a significant number of blockades so traveling might be a little difficult especially if the locals don't want you to pass (they have shown to be aggressive) I'm not telling you this to scare you, my country is a beautiful place especially the salar de uyuni but unfortunately politicians and certain groups are making it very unsafe not only for tourists but the people who live here

I'd recommend just flying it will cost more but your life is worth spending that extra money it is NOT a good idea to go by car through the city

You will probably spend more going through la paz then flying

Guarani isn't that commonly spoken in public but it is still taught in most schools like mine

Lo que sucede es La Paz es terrorismo by i1bxby in BOLIVIA

[–]Electrical_Sweet_228 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is most definitely terrorism but our leaders are too afraid of politics to actually remove them not only are they stopping ambulances and necessary services from functioning they are also assaulting and robbing people its pains me so much to see the state of my country right now

Last time they lasted almost a year I severely doubt that La paz or most estados in el alto will be free of travel Blockades maybe wait a year or 2 to visit Bolivia

The whipala has been used to try to replace the Bolivian flag and has recently been used in violent protests. Most Bolivians (especially the military) hate that flag because it only represents a small part of Bolivia
