In a remote corner of central Bolivia, hundreds of coca farmers have armed themselves with sticks and makeshift shields to protect the country’s former president, Evo Morales. For nearly 14 years, he dominated national politics and oversaw a gas-fueled economic boom that lifted millions out of poverty.
