Bolivia's "coup" - who supported him and who opposed him and who harbors Morales?

International reactions to Bolivian President Evo Morales' announcement of his resignation varied, which he said came under pressure from military and police leaders, while Mexico said it would grant him asylum.

Morales announced his resignation in a televised address on Sunday shortly after he lost support from army and police commanders who demanded his resignation. The army chief of staff has called on Morales to step down "to maintain peace and stability" in Bolivia.

Morales, the first indigenous Bolivian to rule the country, won a fourth disputed presidential term when the electoral court declared his victory in the presidential election on October 20 narrowly ahead of his rival.

The Bolivian opposition said fraud had taken place in the election and led three weeks of protests in which three people were killed and hundreds injured. Morales eventually called for new elections, but the concession was not enough to calm the street.

The following are the main international reactions to developments in Bolivia.

The United States is monitoring the political situation in Bolivia and calls on the civilian leadership to retain control during the transition period, a State Department official said.

"We call on everyone to refrain from violence during this tense time, and we will continue to work with our international partners to ensure the continuation of Bolivia's democracy and constitutional order," the official said on condition of anonymity.

Meanwhile, a former US senator mocked the CIA, accusing it of playing a role in the events in Bolivia. "Congratulations on winning power in Bolivia," Mike Gravel, a former senator from Alaska, wrote on his Twitter account.

The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement expressing its "grave concern" over the events which it said "followed the scenario of an organized coup".

"We call on all political forces in Bolivia to demonstrate good intentions and responsibility," the statement said, calling for "a constitutional exit to the situation."

EU: EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini in a statement called on all parties in Bolivia to exercise "restraint and responsibility".

She hoped that "the country will go peacefully and quietly to new elections, credible elections that can allow the people of Bolivia to express their democratic will."

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said his country regarded the coup "because the military has asked for the resignation of the president and is in violation of the country's constitutional order."

Ebrard told a news conference, along with veteran leftist President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, that Mexico would not accept a government of "military nature" in Bolivia. He said his country would continue to recognize Morales as a legitimate president until his term expires in January 2020.

Before resigning, Mexico praised Morales' decision to call new elections in Bolivia, and later said it would grant him asylum if he so requested. Ebrard said his country had not yet received a response from Morales.

Twenty deputies and senior government officials took refuge in the residence of the Mexican ambassador to Bolivia after Morales resigned.

Cuba's government expressed its "solidarity with its brother, President Evo Morales," and described Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Morales as a "hero and symbol of the rights of indigenous peoples" in Latin America.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro "categorically" condemned what he called the coup in Bolivia and called for the mobilization of political and social movements "to demand the preservation of the lives of indigenous Bolivian citizens who are victims of racism."

Argentina - President-elect Alberto Fernandez, who will take office on December 10, called the situation that led to Morales' resignation a coup.

BRASILIA , Brazil (Reuters) - Brazilian president Jaire Bolsonaro said "fraud allegations in the election led to the resignation of President Evo Morales," adding that the lesson we learned was the need for a transparent electoral system.

The Spanish Foreign Ministry condemned the role played by the military and police in Morales' resignation. "This intervention brings us back for a moment in the ancient history of Latin America," the statement said.
