| | | | campesino: Encyclopedia II - Bolivian Gas War - Background The gas reserves, which are the second-largest in South America, were discovered in the mid-1990s and are mainly located in the south-eastern Tarija Department, which detains 80% of the Bolivian gas and petrol. 10% is also detained by the Santa Cruz Department, according to Le Monde.

| | | | campesino: Encyclopedia II - Efraín Ríos Montt - Comeback Ríos Montt founded the very corrupt FRG in 1989. He tried to run for president in 1990, but was prohibited from entering the race by the constitutional court due to a constitutional provision banning people who had participated in military coups from becoming president. He was an FRG deputy between 1990 and 2004. In 1994 he was elected head of the unicameral legislature. With his attempt to run in 1994 also banned he supported his fellow FRG friend Alfonso Portillo as candidate for the presidency, which ...

| | | | campesino: Encyclopedia II - Efraín Ríos Montt - Background The general's ties with the United States military go back fifty years when he received training by the Pentagon. In 1950 Ríos Montt graduated as a cadet at the School of the Americas in Panama, which at the time educated students in counterinsurgency tactics for the purposes of combating potential "communist" influence in the region.
In 1954, the young officer played a minor role in the successful CIA-organized coup against Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán, who was widely regarded as a "communist" in Washington because he ...

| | | | campesino: Encyclopedia II - Bolivian Gas War - Via Chile or Peru The dispute arose in early 2002, when the administration of President Jorge Quiroga proposed building the pipeline through neighboring Chile to the port of Mejillones, the most direct route to the Pacific ocean. However, antagonism towards Chile runs deep in Bolivia because of the loss of Bolivia's Pacific coastline to Chile in the War of the Pacific (1879-1884).
Bolivians began vociferously campaigning against the Chilean option, arguing instead that the pipeline should be routed north through the Peruvian port of Ilo, 260 km further ...

On September 8, 650 Aymaras started a hunger strike to protest against the detention of a villager, accused of having condemned during a "comm ...

| | | | campesino: Encyclopedia II - Bolivian Gas War - The 2005 Hydrocarbons Law On May 6, 2005, the long awaited Hydrocarbons Law was finally approved by the Bolivian Congress.
