So all these gangs have families too, it’s like who tf is protecting them
Este es el resultado de un proceso de decadencia que Correa impulso.

Sympathy with you fail country 😢
My ex wife’s parents are from Ecuador. As well as most of her cousins parents. Some of the most beautiful people I have ever known. My ex mother in law just passed away and I got to see them for the first time in years at the funeral. It was so good to see these wonderful people. I wish Ecuador the best. This is unacceptable!!!
Ecuador will take years, if ever, to become a republic.

Ecuadorian citizens have never believed in the police force.
But seeing members of the Armed Forces linked to crime… that's new.
Send them to the US
Mexico exporting its cartel bizz

El cáncer solo se cava exterminando lo
This nation seems troubled by cartels. I'm glad we don't have this kind of problem.
This organised crime it is a result to neglect the country.
I kindly suggest to check who was in the Ecuador's government during the last 8 years, first Lenin Moreno who was another corrupt President that sold Ecuador to the ones that could pay a good money for the territory with 30 years of exploration of mines, petroleum and orher sources, and the last 4 years the next President GUILLERMO LASO, he owns Banco d3 Guayaquil and other business in the country and out of the country, he is of the right win = right party = conservatives = old fashion way to lead the country with plutocracy, he is not socialist party, do not speak what you do not know.
FYI, he was ex Economist Minister in 2000 with Jamil Mahuad another corrupt President right party too not socialist, no left party, here we are not speak about being married with parties, the purpose is that a man have to do the right thing, honest and work as desire to be a President leading a nation in the right path for the sake of his citizens.
GUILLERMO LASO was the one that brought poverty and down the economy of Ecuador, exchanging Sucre per Dolar to a rough reality with Dolorización = Painful Economy.
Also, the Legislative and the Justice Power and the Parliament were not able to take legal action against him and because he unable them since he was elected President, because he and his son in law were involved with the Albanian Mafia, dirty business, corruption during his time leading as President.
To trust a politician you have to demonstrate with efficient actions, results in the short, medium, and permanent term in the Guarantee of Security without censoring the citizen with freedom of expression and respecting different opinions of its Ecuadorian citizens, and Optimal Well-being, and Quality Education, Complete International Programs of 240 minimum credits for Universities and that are Efficient, betting on easy and quick access also for primary school with a second language (English) and third language (Chinese, German, any other) International without limit of age, ethnicity, status because this guarantees a Competitive Economy that consolidates Ecuador at the level of developed countries and that of Universal Social Public Health Services, also regulating the purchase of affordable and safe housing based on the per capita income of its citizens, without crime, violence, applying fair, non-abusive regulations because Noboa is the owner along with his father who could not be President of 100 or so companies, only in time will we see if he started in politics to serve and work honestly for the people of Ecuador or are they just like the rest of the predecessor Presidents to steal money from the public coffers and evade taxes and/or create laws so that taxes are not applied to the great fortunes of the country who are well-paid and apply high taxes only to the middle and working class and the small and medium-sized businesses suffocating them, I am skeptical, I am like Saint Thomas, I have to see to believe and even if I believe with an eye, looking at who it surrounds itself with and what deals it makes and at what price for its citizens. As Mr. President Bukele said, when there is good intention from the heart for the love of his country, if he wants to do things well, it can be made possible, and there is no need to put the country in excessive debt, or ask for international help because no one helps you for free. abroad, they always want something in return, and their leaders sell the country to the highest bidder to get out of the problem quickly. So we will be watching it from inside and outside the country.
Los narcos financian a los criminales de la calle. Cuando llegue la dictadura los encerraran a los de la calle y el gobierno se vendera mas y hara negocios con narcos. Asegurando el tráfico y controlando la población. A modo que el tráfico seguirá el narco y político y y fuerza armada gana y la población agradece la nueva paz. Exacto como en el Salvador y todo centro América y sur será un solo estado narco
para confiar en un político tiene que demostrar con acciones eficientes, resultados a corto, mediano, y permanente plazo en la Garantia de una Seguridad sin sensurar al ciudadano con la libertad de expresión y respetando diferentes opioniones de sus ciudadanos Ecuatorianos, y Óptimo Bienestar, y Educación de Calidad, Programas Internacionales Completos de 240 créditos mínimo para Universidades y que sea Eficientes apostando por el fácil y rápido acceso también para la primaria con segundo idioma (Ingĺés,) y tercer idioma (Chino, Aleman, cualquier otro) International sin limite de edad, etnia, status porque esto Garantiza una Economía Competitiva que consolida a Ecuador al nivel de países desarrollados y qur de Servicios Sociales Universales de Salud Pública, también regulando la compra de Vivienda aceesible y segura en función de los ingresos per capita de sus ciudadanos, sin crimen, violencia, aplicar regulaciones justas, no abusivas porque Noboa es propietario junto con su padre que no pudo ser Presidente de 100 y pico de empresas, solo en el tiempo se verá si se inicìó en la política para servir y trabajar honradamente para el pueblo de Ecuador o solo esta como el resto de antecesores Presidentes para robar dinero de las arcas públicas y evadir impuestos y/o crear leyes para que no se les aplique impuestos a las grandes fortunas del país que bien forrados estan y aplican altos impuestos solo a la clase media y trabajadora y a las pequeñas y medianas empresas asfixiandolas, soy excéptica, soy como Santo Tomas tengo ver para creer y aunque crea con ojo mirando de quién se rodea y que tratos hace y a que precio para sus ciudadanos. Como dijo El Señor Presidente Bukele cuando hay buena intención desde el corazón por el amor a su país, si quiere hacer las cosas bien, se puede hacer posible, y no se necesita endeurdar al país desmesuradamente, ni pedir ayuda internacional porque nadie te ayuda gratis dear el exterior, siempre quieren algo a cambio, y sus lideres para salir ŕápido del problema venden al país al mejor postor. Asi que estaremos observandolo desde dentro y fuera del país.

Actually, everyone needs money, not god or government or politics or education anything
The Zionist lobby has penetrated into universities, parties, and political decision makers. You find the Zionist lobby controlling the financial markets and also controlling the global media.
China has been perpetuating violence and working with cartels to seize ports and cheap mining rights.
They need to learn from el salvadorian president nayib bukele!
At what point do laws become nothing but rotting paper that serve only the people who want to enslave you and are no longer valid?
Al Jazeera is the station of hamas
Here the so called human rights is quiet
This is good but IT's not good "AL Jazeera-News channel"….since i have come to know your reporters are involved in terrorist activity against Israil…You know..!
~regards~
Ecuador needs to implement what El Salvador has for all gang members
Please get a voice over person!! It's hard to read as fast as they speak! We have to keep rewinding and the story gets lost!!
EL PARTIDO SOCIAL CRISTIANO VIENE PERJUDICANDO AA ECUADOR NEBOT Y CORREA AN NEGOCIADO CON LOS NARCO
The United States is partly to blame with its casual drug users fueling the illegal drug industry. Tons of cocaine are shipped to this country. None of it goes to waste; it goes up someone's nose or is smoked. Sad. People don't try to cope. They use drugs.
UNA VEZ MAS….CORREA NO EXPULSÓ LA BASE…EN SU PERÍODO EL CONTRATO DE COOPERACIÓN BILATERAL SE TERMINÓ FENECIÓ Y LAS FUERZAS VIVAS DE MANTA EL GABINETE EL PRESIDENTE CORREA Y LA MAYORÍA DE PERSONAS NO QUISIERON QUE SIGA BASE SE TOMÓ ESA DECISIÓN SOBERANA CUANDO ESTABA LA BASE HABÍA UNA TASA DE 19 MUERTES X CADA 100 K HABITANTES…DESPUÉS DE LA BASE BAJAMOS A 5 MUERTES POR CADA100k HABITANTES DEJEN DE VENDER. HUMO Y SER ODIADORES DE CORREA…INVESTIGUEN LAS ESTADÍSTICAS ES FÁCIL…MARÍA SOL ERES UNA ODIADORA MAS
Hard drugs ruin everything it touches…
Candidate Villavicencio was not protected by his security team!
America has similar problems per capita in alot of cities why do so many come here when it’s doing nothing but getting worse?
Same as ANC South Africa…
Make it legal and controlled and taxed by the govt. the same way the US govt. put a dent in organized crime arising out of alcohol prohibition back in the 1920s. Whatever addiction problems arise from decriminalizing cocaine etc. won't be 1/1000th of the societal damage that prohibition is causing with the gangs and guns and murder and failed states. That said, the sales of US made guns into central and south America has enabled the violence.
Need marhall law
TO ALL YOU PEOPLE IN RICH COUNTRIES THAT USE BUY COCAINE ??? THIS BLOOD IS ON YOUR HAND$ HERE. no shame whatsoever for the level of damage that YOU DO TO THESE POOR NATIONS. SHAME ON YOU ALL.
Culture is very important, in El Salvador, gang culture was empowered by the music, clothes and the way they used to talk, young people nowadays see that culture as cringe, that is the first step for changing the way youngsters won't feel welcomed into the gangs.
I'm ecuadorian. To understand the problem. Colombia is a laundry and drug state. Its military does not enter coca cultivation and manufacturing areas. They find a way to transport drugs abroad in Ecuador. In Ecuador there are more than 1,500 Colombians in prisons. Now Venezuela, a socialist country, has released criminals from its prisons, as Cuba did years ago and sent them to all of America, today they are even entering the USA through the border. They are also a bridge to bring drugs to the USA through Cuba. In Ecuador we had more than 15 years of socialist governments that let these criminals enter, damaged the judicial system, removed the US base in Manta, which controlled the air traffic of small planes that take drugs to Mexico. They bribed police and military. This entire operation is financed by the Mexican cartels. Today we have hope, positive changes are coming.
some of my closest friends are Ecuadorian and i must say some of the nicest people I have ever met. This is just heartbreaking.
