❗️🇪🇨 Emergency in Ecuador
Update as of 17:00 on January 11.

As of now, order has been maintained in the capital of Ecuador, Quito. Attacks are still occurring, but not on the same scale. The situation in the main financial center of the country, Guayaquil, where the world's largest port is located, appears to be much more dangerous.

▪️ However, logistics companies and the port itself continue to operate even in this situation. The roads are not blocked, allowing goods to be delivered on time. This indicates that the situation is developing favorably.

▪️ The Ecuadorian authorities have confirmed their plans to start building new prisons. There is also discussion about deporting foreign prisoners. The focus is mainly on Colombians and Venezuelans, who have contributed to the worsening crime statistics. However, it is possible that all individuals with legal stay issues may eventually be expelled along with them.

▪️ Members of terrorist groups are now declared military targets, and security forces who assist the criminals are considered accomplices. Purges within the security apparatus have also been announced.

▪️ The Peruvian government has declared a state of emergency in the northern territories bordering Ecuador and Colombia. Migration control has been strengthened, and police and army units have been dispatched to the area.

▪️ Brazilian authorities have expressed their readiness to provide their own police officers to assist Ecuador.

🔻For now, the United States has decided not to send its troops anywhere. However, interesting details about other military assistance have emerged.

The current unrest has given the administration of Daniel Noboa a reason to increase investment in the security apparatus. The President stated that the country would replace Soviet-made military equipment with new American models. In return, Ecuador will receive new equipment worth a total of $200 million.

This exchange will be part of a "large aid package" from the United States, which was surprisingly agreed upon with the American embassy immediately after the start of the riots. However, Noboa is fully aware that the equipment handed over by Ecuador will soon be used by the AFU.

❗️It seems that the announced $200 million will be the same "assistance" from the United States (which is never free) that Noboa mentioned earlier. The president also mentioned that funds were expected to come from Peru. Considering that this country also has a certain amount of Soviet and Russian weapons, it would not be surprising if they also simply handed them over to the States for the same money, which will be partially transferred to Ecuador.
