UN's Guterres to Send Envoy to Bolivia to Find 'Peaceful Resolution'

VOA News

   U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' office announced that a
   special envoy would be sent to Bolivia to support a "peaceful
   resolution" to its current crisis after military leaders called on the
   Bolivian president to resign over election irregularities.

   Former U.N. special envoy to Colombia Jean Arnault will act as the U.N.
   envoy to Bolivia to engage with "all Bolivian actors," and attempt to
   support peaceful elections in the country.

   Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for Guterres, announced that "the
   secretary-general remains deeply concerned about developments in
   Bolivia. He reiterates his appeal to all Bolivians to refrain from
   violence and exercise utmost restraint."
