Ecuador has been rocked by a series of violent attacks including the abduction of a number of police officers. Security forces are out in force on the streets.
The outbreak of violence followed the apparant escape from prison of a drug cartel leader on Sunday. Adolfo Macias, also known as 'Fito,' was serving a 34 year sentence for murder and narcotics trafficking.
Ecuadorian president Daniel Noboa says his country is in a state of 'internal armed conflict.' He's ordered the army to take military action against drugs gangs in the country.

These are the children of 2008 when former president Correa opened the table of drug consumption, in a country with a high rate of illiteracy and poverty. Today they are adolescents and young people, today Ecuador sees the legacy of the bad political decisions of former Correa. We can only ask the Sacred Heart of Jesus in this year that we are celebrating 150 years of consecration to give us back peace in the streets.

@ClubRipley 6 ай бұрын

Don't let yourself be fooled. I'm ecuadorian living in Germany. There's a tolerance maximum in nearly every country of the world to differentiate a consumer (someone who needs rehabilitation) from a dealer. In most europeans countries this maximum is even higher than in Ecuador. And europeans take drugs much more often than latins. That's not the reason why this is happening at all. It's mainly to the obsession of the last goverments of not investing in security, intelligence and social invest. Apart from that, the previous president had also connection with the mafia throught his brother-in-law...

It's more a Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela problem. Arguably Paraguay. Most of the continent doesn't have cartels reaching out to the national level of politics, and rarely state wide. Don't get me wrong corruption and populism are rampart, but usually with sectors that make way more money than illegal drugs.
