Morales Flees Crisis-Torn Bolivia

LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) – Bolivia is facing its worst unrest in decades amid a political vacuum, while Evo Morales, who transformed the Andean nation as its first indigenous president, has fled the country following weeks of violent protests.  Morales flew out on a Mexican government plane late Monday hours after being granted asylum as his supporters and foes fought on the streets of the capital while an opposition leader tearfully laid out a possible path toward new elections in the wake of the president’s resignation.  Morales stepped down Sunday following weeks of widespread protests fed by allegations of electoral fraud in the Oct. 20 presidential election that he claimed to have won. Resignations by every other constitutionally designated successor have left it unclear who will take his place and how.
