It's AY-voe, like HAY-voe, but without the "h". Not EE-voe, not EH-voe.
Evo. This pronunciation correction for Morales' first name is my only complaint about this NPR story, "Bolivians Divided by Energy Reserves, History"

Teaching Aymara and other indigenous languages in Bolivia

There are more protests here in La Paz, but they're more standard. Except that this time, it's a little funny/ridiculous because 20,000 miners marched and threw their dinamitazos in La Paz yesterday to protest a government tax ... despite the fact that the government had already announced that they would suspend it. Because the point of marching is to protest, not to have your demands met. Apparently. Cf this Deep Thought: "Sometimes I think you have to march right in and demand your rights, even if you don't know what your rights are, or who the person is you're talking to. Then on the way out, slam the door."
