QUITO, Ecuador, April 2 — Ecuador today declared a state of emergency in the nation’s major port and other areas reeling from drug-related crime.
Speaking in a televised address to the nation, President Guillermo Lasso said he had declared a state of emergency in the port of Guayaquil and the neighbouring districts of Duran and Samborondon, as well as in Santa Elena and Los Rios provinces. Last year, Lasso declared similar temporary states of emergency three times for Guayaquil, which has faced a sharp spike in organized-crime-related killings.“We have a common enemy: delinquency, drug trafficking and organized crime,” said Lasso, a right-wing former banker who took office nearly two years ago.
