Bolivia Roadblock: Five-Day Crisis in Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz Roadblock: Five-Day Standoff Disrupts Chiquitania and Beni Access SANTA CRUZ, BOLIVIA – June 9, 2025 – A five-day roadblock on the vital route connecting Santa Cruz to the Chiquitania and Beni regions has brought life in the area to a standstill. The blockade, which began on June 5th, has severely impacted the movement of goods and people, affecting the livelihoods of countless individuals and families. "The blockade has affected the entire population, not just the municipality," stated a news anchor from Unitel Bolivia. "It's impacting those trying to travel from one place to another within our department." On-the-scene reporting by Unitel shows people walking for miles to bypass the blockade, while others resort to mototaxis and other alternative transport. The situation is further complicated by the Federation of Neighborhood Councils' announcement that they will not support the blockade, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing conflict. The roadblock represents a significant challenge to the region's economy and daily life. The hope is for a swift resolution that will restore normalcy and allow unimpeded access to essential goods and services.
