The mysterious disappearance of Evo Morales, Bolivia's former president, has sparked a frenzy of speculation and theories. For over a year, Morales remained hidden in plain sight, attending rallies, receiving journalists, and casting his vote in the 2025 presidential election, despite an arrest warrant for human trafficking charges. But after the US attack on Venezuela and the detention of Nicolás Maduro, Morales suddenly vanished, leaving his whereabouts unknown. This disappearance has fueled a whirlwind of theories, with some claiming he has fled the country. However, the official version, supported by political allies and coca growers' unions, is that Morales is ill. His supporters have even produced a song, 'Where Is Evo?', highlighting his achievements and suggesting he is 'with the people'. The political analyst José Orlando Peralta speculates that Morales may have fled or is seriously ill, as dengue symptoms typically don't last more than a week. The relationship between Bolivia's center-right president, Rodrigo Paz Pereira, and the US, particularly the Trump administration's 'war on drugs', adds another layer of complexity to this mystery. With the DEA's potential return to Bolivia, Morales' political and private life may soon become even more complicated. The question remains: where is Evo Morales? The answer may lie in the intricate web of politics, personal health, and international relations.
