Équateur : 10 000 militaires mobilisés dans une offensive d'envergure contre les cartels
Faced with a surge in crime, the Ecuadorian government launched a massive military operation on Friday. Ten thousand soldiers were deployed to break the grip of the drug trafficking gangs that are terrorizing the country.
President Daniel Noboa has prioritized the key traffic hubs: the port of Guayaquil , where special forces have already taken up positions, and the port of Manta . To demonstrate the state's resolve, Defense Minister Gian Carlo Loffredo ordered the military command to establish a permanent presence in Guayaquil.
Having become the main logistics hub for cocaine between Peru and Colombia, Ecuador has seen its homicide rate reach a record 52 per 100,000 inhabitants by 2025. This offensive benefits from the logistical support of the United States, which deployed reinforcement troops in mid-December.
