Evo Morales Returns to Bolivia, One Year After Coup That Ousted Him
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Bolivia, former President Evo Morales has returned to his country
after one year in exile following a right-wing military coup that
overthrew Morales last November. Thousands of supporters celebrated
Morales's triumphant return as he crossed into Bolivia by foot through
the border with Argentina, where he'd been living since last year. This
is Morales speaking to his throngs of supporters yesterday.

Evo Morales: "The fight continues. While imperialism and capitalism
exist, the struggle of the people will continue. I am convinced of that,
brothers and sisters."

Evo Morales's return follows the swearing-in of Luis Arce as the new
president and the return of Morales's MAS party to power.
