Today's Press Briefing October 8, 2000 The Final Solution in Bolivia: Coca for Some Regions, Violence for Others Bolivia Divided by Drug War Hypocrisy Narco News Analysis: The Banzer regime has granted one of the two major coca growing unions the rights to continue to grow "traditional coca," along with pledging massive financial investment and agreeing to "95%" of their demands, in order to isolate the coca growers of Chapare. Chapare is the central region of Bolivia that Washington DC has targetted for the next phase of its "zero coca" policy, in which the dictator-turned-"president" Hugo Banzer is a key player.
