Discover the shocking events unfolding in Ecuador as armed gangs terrorize the country and the president declares an 'internal armed conflict'.
Ecuador is currently grappling with a severe crisis involving gang violence and political turmoil. The nation has been plunged into chaos with armed gangs wreaking havoc, leading to a state of 'internal armed conflict' declared by President Daniel Noboa. This declaration comes in response to escalating violence, with multiple gangs identified as terrorist groups. Prison breaks, armed attacks, and even the invasion of a TV studio by gunmen have stunned the country.
The situation in Ecuador has been deteriorating rapidly, with security forces struggling to contain the rampant gang violence. The root of the crisis lies in the country's prison system, which has long been a hotbed of criminal activity. The recent escape of a notorious gang leader and the hostage-taking of over 130 prison staff have further exacerbated the turmoil.
As the violence escalates, countries like the United States and Peru have expressed their support for Ecuador. The streets are empty as fear grips the nation, and the president has made bold statements, declaring that the country is at war with drug gangs. Despite the challenges, Ecuador is facing this crisis head-on, determined to restore peace and safety to its citizens.
