Is it coup or return to democracy? Future of country Evo Morales reshaped in doubt

Where Bolivia's political chasm people and leaders are denouncing a "deposition", on the other side, they are welcoming the "return of democracy". The dispute over what is taking place in Bolivia has spilt far beyond the country's border.

The most intense battles are occurring on the streets where the crisis started just a few weeks ago, now more unstable than ever. The protesters on both sides say that they are fighting for the future of their nation.

After weeks of intensifying demonstration over contested election results, President Evo Morales resigned and fled the country and took asylum in Mexico.

Mexico's foreign minister Marcelo Ebrard criticise a "military coup"; Uruguay joined Mexico in refusing to recognise the interim government.

But the departure of Morales far from resolving Bolivia's crisis has only deepened it.

After Morales resigned, the next in the line of succession was Jeanine Anez of who served as deputy president of the senate. Jeanine Anez seized the position of interim president with alacrity; She is warning Morales that he could be prosecuted if he returned to Bolivia.

Meanwhile, her primary responsibility as a temporary leader is to organise fresh elections within 90 days.

On Thursday, politicians of Morales's party and the interim government said they had struck a deal to surface the way for fresh elections in 90 days, but on Friday Anez said the deal had failed.

Where Morales supporters are attacking heavy-handed policing, accusing authorities and opponents the demonstration have continued on streets, so far five deaths have been reported in the clashes. Most of the dead were in Sacaba. Dozens more had been shot and injured.
