Spectre of civil war hangs over Bolivia autonomy vote
The spectre of violence, possibly even a civil war, is hanging heavy over Bolivia ahead of an autonomy vote on Sunday by its richest province that the government has declared illegal.
Bolivians approved a sweeping new Constitution capping three years of conflict-ridden efforts by President Evo Morales that would bring greater political power to the country's indigenous majority and allow him to run for re-election, media reports said.
