Chilean military base poses threat to Bolivia: Morales

Bolivian President Evo Morales on Sunday accused neighboring Chile of threatening the land-locked Andean nation by establishing a military base some 15 kilometers (9 miles) from their shared border and close to the disputed Silala river.

"This installation is an aggression to the life, homeland and to Bolivia," the leftist leader said during a public appearance in the Santa Cruz region.

Chile and Bolivia have long had thorny relations and are at loggerheads again over access to the Silala river, which crosses their shared border.

Over the Easter weekend, Morales threatened to go to the International Court of Justice in the Hague to resolve the dispute, which had until recently been a low-profile issue.

Sounds as if Evo is doing some shit-stirring to draw attention away from his girlfriend issues.
