Evo Morales<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Bolivian President Evo Morales has resigned after nearly 14 years in power, amid turmoil following his disputed re-election last month.<\/p>\n

The head of the army had called on him to go after protests over his election win.<\/p>\n

Auditors found irregularities with the poll but Mr Morales said he had been the victim of a coup.<\/p>\n

He said he was leaving to help protect families of political allies, after their homes were burned down.<\/p>\n

In a televised address, Mr Morales urged protesters to “stop attacking the brothers and sisters, stop burning and attacking”.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, tension is high in Bolivia following the resignation of Morales, after weeks of protest over a disputed election.<\/p>\n

Following his resignation, the deputy head of the Senate said she would take over as interim president until new elections were held.<\/p>\n

Critics of Mr Morales celebrated his departure from office but there have also been incidents of looting.<\/p>\n
