Description
In a shocking turn of events, a drone attack at an Ecuadorean prison results in thirteen deaths, adding to the countrys escalating prison violence crisis. With over six hundred sixty-three fatalities since 2020, Ecuadors prisons have become operational centers for rival drug-trafficking gangs, leading to frequent and brutal clashes. The countrys strategic location between Peru and Colombia, the worlds largest cocaine producers, has made it a major hub for the global cocaine trade. President Daniel Noboa has declared a state of internal armed conflict to combat the cartels, highlighting the urgent need for a hardline policy against organized crime.
