Meanwhile, the Bolivian government has announced it will no longer send troops to the former U.S. Army School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia. Bolivian President Evo Morales said the decision was made because of the school’s historical ties to oppressive military regimes in Latin America. Bolivia has now officially become the fifth country after Costa Rica, Argentina, Uruguay and Venezuela to announce a withdrawal from the Fort Benning institution, now known as the Western Hemisphere Institute for Cooperation.
