As dusk falls, some 500 Indigenous people stand in formation in Lauca Ene, a hamlet in central Bolivia, and raise their spears to the cry of "Long live Evo Morales!" The former Bolivian president is hugely popular in this coca-growing region and maintains an iron grip -- no one enters Lauca Ene without his approval. From this stronghold, his influence extends across the Tropico de Cochabamba department, a region of dense forests and broad rivers that is home to 260,000 people. It is here where Morales, himself a former coca grower, forged his career in the union struggles of the 1980s and that he is now plotting his return to power -- despite a court-imposed ban on anyone serving more than two presidential terms.
