The attacks have followed the escape from jail of one of Ecuador’s most dangerous drug lords.

  21. I’d have loved to visit a place like Ecuador – I actually thought it was one of a handful of South American countries where tourists didn’t have anything out of the ordinary to worry about, just the usual dangers they know how to avoid back home.

  24. 😢all the people of Ecuador 🇪🇨 needs to surrender to Jesus CHRIST as lord and savior its the only answer!? PERIOD!!!!??

  29. Here we go! Small boats with disgruntled Ecuadoreans on the way! At this rate the indigenous population of the peaceful and calm UK will have to move into the sea to accommodate these people. Furious from Plymouth!!!!

  32. Can someone please explain why does South America has so many gangs? I love those countries, but the crime there is unreal 😡
