Bolivian President
Accuses U.S. Aid Agency
For Conditioned
Assistance
Bolivian President Evo
Morales said Monday that
a U.S. government aid
agency had "created
problems" by providing
conditioned assistance
for his country.
The U.S. Agency for
International
Development (USAID) aims
to promote the economic
model of the capitalist
and neo-liberalism
systems by privatizing
Bolivia's state
companies, said Morales,
according to reports
from La Paz.
On Sunday, Morales
confirmed that he would
discuss with Thomas
Shannon, a top U.S.
State Department
official in charge of
Latin America, an
"unconditional
cooperation" between the
two countries.
Farmers loyal to the
president drove USAID
workers from a
coca-growing region in
central Bolivia last
month, accusing them of
aiding government
opponents.
