Posted On 11 Mar 2022- Ec Diplomat to Washington DC- Ivonne Baki: 'It seems that taking away their visa is the only way for people to react- "Although she insists that relations between Quito and Washington “are at their best moment”, the favorite commonplace of every diplomat,
she recognizes that today one of the issues that keeps her on constant alert, almost without sleep, is the level of corruption and drug trafficking in the country.
“That didn’t happen before,” she says, in an interview with EL UNIVERSO. For her, the before and after is marked by the government of Rafael Correa, with whom, paradoxically, she also collaborated as head of the Yasuní-ITT Initiative, which failed in its attempt to obtain international funds in exchange for leaving the oil underground......" -

28JUL 2026☣️ 'Biological War: A Scenario' is a 2026 nonfiction book by American investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen.
Published in the United States by Dutton on July 28, 2026, the book examines the potential consequences of a large-scale biological attack or the accidental release of an engineered pathogen.
The book uses a fictional near-future catastrophe to describe how governments, health systems, armed forces and civilian populations might respond to the rapid spread of a highly lethal biological agent.

interviews with scientists and national-security officials, and discussion of advances in genetic engineering, synthetic biology and 👾artificial intelligence.
It is a thematic successor to Jacobsen's 2024 book -
