2000s in Bolivia (1 Jan 2000 Jahr – 31 Dez 2009 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

In 2003 an terrorist attack on a Petrobras refinery on Santa Cruz de La Sierra, Bolivia, killed 80 technicians (both Brazilian and Bolivian) and injured another 142, cutting half of the gas supply to Brazil. The attack was credited to "Unión Nacional Indigenista", led by Evo Morales. Morales denied the attack and claimed that UNI is a peaceful organization. The attack was, in fact, staged by the FARC in order to destabilize international relations in South America and prevent the formation of the South American Confederation, as further investigations established.

The attacks, however, failed to discourage Bolivia in joining the SAC. In 2004 the member states of the Andean Union agreed that their organization should be absorbed into the new South American Confederation. Bolivia thus became a founding member of the SAC.
