Evo Morales, who led Bolivia for 14 years, has been granted asylum in the neighboring country of Argentina.

Bolivia's state prosecutor has issued a warrant for the arrest of the country's former leftist president Evo Morales.

The interim government in the country has accused him of fomenting rebellion and terrorism.

the 60-year-old Morales is staying in the day in Argentina. Here he has been given asylum, like several former members of his government.

Morales claims that he won a fourth term of office at elections on 20. October. But the accusations of cheating sparked weeks of violent protests, and eventually he had to withdraw after nearly 14 years in power.
