21JUL22- "The actor/activist Leonardo DiCaprio spoke this Thursday, July 21, through social networks about the rights of nature that could be violated by mining in the Íntag Valley. Through his publication, DiCaprio points out that the rights of nature in Íntag "are in the hands of the Imbabura Provincial Court of Justice."

"Today, both human rights and the rights of nature are in the hands of the provincial court in Ecuador as they determine the future of the Intag Valley. Local communities are asking the provincial court to rule against mining , which would damage this ecosystem," the actor wrote.

Yesterday, the hearing for the violation of the rights of nature and lack of Environmental Consultation took place in Íntag, one of the most biodiverse places in Ecuador. In addition, the activist also mentioned that "Ecuador's Intag Valley is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. Home to the long-nosed harlequin toad that was once thought to be extinct, the court hearing will determine the future of this species."

Around 10:00 a.m., citizens gathered outside the Imbabura Provincial Court to press the appeal of the Protection Action in the case, which was presented by the Junín, C Chalguayaco Alto, Cerro Pelado, Barcelona communities of the Intag Valley. These communities could be the most affected by the mining project called Llurimagua, in Cotacachi Canton. It is mentioned that several endangered species residing in the Íntag Valley will lose their homes if the mining project is approved . As well as entire communities will have to be relocated." -

01JUL25 - SOUTHCOM’s TMPI: Towards Integrated Deterrence in the Americas by Building Maintenance Capacity- #ECUADOR - "Analyzing Ecuador’s foreign policy trajectory over the past two decades is pertinent to illuminating the region’s evolving political and security landscape. During President Rafael Correa’s administration between 2007 and 2017, Ecuador pivoted by severing its military relations with the US.

This comprehensive shift included ordering the closure of the security cooperation office in the US Embassy and honoring but not renewing the lease term for the Manta Air Base, causing the withdrawal of approximately 300 US military personnel stationed there.

However, this period of strained relations was followed by the re-establishment of the Office of Security Cooperation (OSC) in 2018, signaling a potential shift that ultimately materialized with new military cooperation agreements signed with the US in 2023 under President Lasso and ratified in 2024 by President Daniel Noboa. ...

25JUN25 "Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa announced this Thursday the capture of Adolfo Macías Villamar, alias "Fito ," considered the leader of the Los Choneros organized crime group.

"For those who opposed and doubted the need for the Solidarity and Intelligence laws : thanks to those laws, Fito was captured today and is in the hands of the Security Bloc," the president posted on the social network X.

"We have done our part to proceed with Fito's extradition to the United States , and we await your response. Have a good afternoon, Ecuador," Noboa added.

The criminal leader had been on the run for over a year and a half , after escaping from the Guayaquil Regional Prison and hiding his tracks while the country was engulfed in a spiral of violence, culminating in the brief takeover of a television station.

'Fito,' who was serving a 34-year sentence for organized crime, drug trafficking, and murder , escaped on January 7, 2024, as he was about to be transferred to La Roca, a ...
