They look like the Islamic State. It is a CIA operation in Ecuador. Those ecuadorian masked men in the picture look like the Islamic State fighters. They are as real as the Islamic State. It is a CIA operation. They are paid people to masquerade as protesters.

Evo Morales in TV yesterday: "Quiero denunciar al pueblo boliviano y al mundo entero que está en marcha un golpe de Estado".( "I would like to denounce before the Bolivian people & world that a coup is underway. A coup against a democratically-elected govt. A coup against social movements, workers, patriots, humble + Indigenous people who have built a democratic cultural revolution."). Fascist thugs burned down Evo's sisters house and those of several governors. Same US/CIA supported right wing fascist scum as the Bolsoneristas in Brazil and Random Guano's thugs in Venezuela. Evo and Lula need good protection. People are out defending their country from yet another US attack.
According to media reports, groups of Bolivian protesters broke into newsrooms on Saturday, forcing journalists and staffers to flee buildings.
Bolivian President Evo Morales condemned the violent actions of the protesters, slamming the storming of the state-run broadcaster as an act of dictatorship.
"State media BTV and RPN were taken hostage by organized groups that used threats to force journalists to leave their job posts. [The opposition] says that they defend democracy, but they are acting like dictatorial regimes", Morales Tweeted.
Los medios estatales BTV y RPN han sido intervenidos por grupos organizados que después de amenazar y amedrentar a los periodistas los obligaron a abandonar sus fuentes de trabajo. Dicen defender la democracia, pero actúan como en dictadura.
The two stations have been transmitting content almost exclusively dedicated to the ongoing protests since Friday.
Bolivian media reported earlier that law enforcement officers also took to the streets to protest alongside demonstrators in the capital and in the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. President Morales convened an emergency meeting following the police defections.
Protests in the South American country have been ongoing since 20 October, after Morales secured an additional term in a hotly-contested presidential election, even as the opposition refused to recognize the results, claiming widespread voter fraud.
Over 380 people have reportedly been injured in Bolivia's ongoing protests since starting in late October.
Morales earlier on Saturday asked the opposition to stop protesting and come to the negotiating table, and begged police defectors in major cities to honor the nation's constitution.
The government has reportedly prohibited the army from using their resources to suppress the rallies.
