The Cochabamba Water War was a series of demonstrations that took place between from Decr 1999-April 2000 in Cochabambo,  Bolivia, in response to the privatisation of the municipal water supplier SEMAPA . The surge of protests and police brutality was described as a  "public uprising" against water price

Explanation:

  • Under world bank pressure , Bolivia had to privatize its water source in Cochabamba. This decision was not favoured by the general public and in 2000 this eventually led to a general strike. The strike had marked a "protest" against "water privatisation".
  • Citizens were dissatisfied with the government's policy. To protest against the price rise and alleged privatisation of water supply, protests and a general strike had erupted in the year 2000January.
  • The protest organizer "Oscar Olivera" was imprisoned by the police. Nevertheless, the demonstrations spread across the nation, and in April the govt had declared an "emergency situation". The demonstrations nevertheless continued and many people were killed.
  • Eventually, "Oscar Olivera" was released and an deal was reached with the State to terminate the contract. The people's protests  led to the cancellation of the privatisation deal and to a reinstatement of old rates of  the municipality water supply.
