Bolivian blockades begin to ease after 46 days of unrest

Blockades that have crippled transport routes in Bolivia are beginning to lift. The disruptions have persisted for 46 days of unrest. Protesters initially set up the blockades to demand political changes. Recent reports indicate a gradual reduction in the number of blockaded roads. Authorities say the easing reflects a de‑escalation of tensions. The government has engaged in dialogue with protest leaders. Economic activity is expected to recover as the blockades recede. Observers note that the situation remains fragile despite the improvement.
