Clashes of cocaine gangs, President Daniel Noboa: Violence in Ecuador affects

Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa told the BBC that the gang violence that erupted dramatically this week in his country is a problem for the whole world. Ecuador's youngest president has been in office since November, but now he is facing the country's biggest crisis in its modern history. In the days of unrest two gang leaders escaped from prison, prison guards were held hostage and explosive devices were planted in a number of cities across the country.

Then, a day after Noboa declared a state of emergency, armed men entered the TC television studios in Guayaquil, threatening staff with guns while they were live on air. Speaking to the BBC during his first visit to Guayaquil since the violence, the president admitted the job ahead of him to restore peace to the country was daunting. "We cannot continue with this game that these terrorist groups are trying to create," he said. He asserted, among other things, that changes are being made. Since the outbreak of violence, he has declared that the Andean nation is in an "internal armed conflict" with powerful drug gangs that control the cocaine smuggling trade.

He has ordered his army to "neutralize" 22 armed groups, which he redefined as terrorist organizations. Washington is offering its help. A delegation of US law enforcement, military and diplomatic personnel will arrive in Ecuador in the coming weeks. His critics see the US intervention in the game as unnecessary, but President Noboa welcomes the move. "It is encouraging to see the international community paying attention to what is happening here," the president said. "This crisis affects the whole world. The narco-terrorists who operate here have operations in Europe, in the USA. We have to solve the problem from the roots", he adds.
