Jim Shultz, The Democracy Center "As public strikes mount, Bolivian government announces it will end contract with foreign water company in El Alto neighborhood. Neighborhood organizations reject offer as too ambiguous. Bolivia - As the city of El Alto finished the second day of a citywide general strike, demanding ouster of the multinational corporation that controls its water, the Bolivian government announced that it has decided to cancel the company's water contract. Neighborhood organizations, however, rejected the government's offer Tuesday night, claiming that it included no firm date for the company's departure and no real guarantee that the company would leave."
