Bolivia’s former President Evo Morales has fled his country on a Mexican air force plane after requesting asylum from his socialist ally, leaving a power vacuum in Bolivia as it descends further into chaos from election fraud protests.

Mexico’s Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard granted Morales’ asylum request at a press conference on Nov. 11.
