BOLIVIA’S President Evo Morales has condemned the visit by a top US military commander to US and Colombian troops stationed in the western Colombian city of Tumaco.

Mr Morales said that his government rejected “the suspicious presence of the head of the US Southern Command” Admiral Kurt Tidd.

“Any imperialist military threat against peace in sister Venezuela and our region will be thwarted by the dignity, sovereignty and unity of our democratic peoples,” he said.
