Ecuador Prison Massacre: Why Ecuador Is Latin America’s Most Dangerous Country | Connecting The Dots

Описание: #ecuador #massacre #latinamerica

A deadly prison riot in Machala, Ecuador, on November 9 left at least 31 inmates dead — 27 of them hanged — in one of the country’s worst prison massacres to date. The violence began after clashes between rival gangs over plans to transfer inmates to a new maximum-security facility, part of President Daniel Noboa’s efforts to curb gang power. Ecuador’s prisons, now dominated by powerful cartels like Los Choneros and Los Lobos — both designated as terrorist organizations by the U.S. — have become centers of organized crime, controlling cocaine trafficking routes from Colombia and Peru to the U.S. and Europe. Despite government crackdowns, including multimillion-dollar seizures, gangs continue to operate from behind bars, extorting civilians and infiltrating state institutions. Experts warn that removing key gang leaders only fragments these groups further, intensifying violence. With its strategic geography, dollarized economy, and rising use of terror tactics, Ecuador has rapidly transformed from a relatively safe nation into Latin America’s most dangerous, where the chaos inside prisons now mirrors the violence on the streets.
