He The President of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, decreed the existence of a “internal armed conflict” in the country and ordered the Armed Forces to carry out operations after armed men seized the canal Television TC in full live broadcast.
“I have signed an executive order declaring an internal armed conflict,” Noboa wrote in a message on his X account (formerly Twitter), noting that he had identified transnational organized crime groups “as terrorist organizations and belligerent non-state actors.” “
Among them he stated “Águilas, ÁguilasKiller, Ak47, Dark Knights, ChoneKiller, Choneros, Covicheros, Cuartel de las Feas, Cubanos, Fatales, Gánster, Kater Piler, Lizards, Latin Kings, Lobos, Los p.27, Los Tiburones, Mafia 18, Mafia Trébol , Samples, R7, Tigueroni”.
He added that he ordered the Armed Forces to carry out military operations to neutralize these groups.
Noboa signed the decree at a time of great tension in the country due to car explosions in different cities, explosive attacks, kidnapping of policemen and detention of prison agents in the prisons themselves.
Live television showed hooded men overpowering the staff, followed by gunfire and screams, until the police arrived.
The police announced on their social networks that they evacuated people from the area “in order to check the news with media workers and restore order.”
Meanwhile, institutions such as the University of Guayaquil and several commercial establishments in Quito have closed their doors due to fears of violence.
