Ecuador's WAR on Drugs and Gangs Gets INTENSE
In January alone, Ecuador saw at least 391 violent deaths. Last year was the most violent in the country’s modern history, registering 7,872 murders — 43.2 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants.
That marks a notable increase over 2020, when the figure was just 7.8 per 100,000 inhabitants.
To address the spike in crime, Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa has taken drastic action: He signed executive decrees laying the groundwork for a nationwide referendum, designed to beef up government security powers and amend the constitution.
