Below an article from Primicias about this state of exception (that is erroneously called a “state of emergency” in the article):

These are the 19 cantons with a curfew in Ecuador, according to the government's new state of emergency

Amid the national electricity crisis and power outages, Daniel Noboa’s government issued a new state of emergency, which includes a curfew in 19 cantons and one parish.

On the morning of October 3, the government issued a new emergency decree, as noted on the official website of the Presidency, though no authority had reported the document as of Thursday morning.

The new state of emergency now includes Ecuador’s capital, Quito, and will last for 60 days.

According to the government, the measure was taken due to "the increase in hostilities, the commission of crimes, and the intensity of the presence of armed groups" in Guayas, Los Ríos, Manabí, Orellana, Santa Elena, El Oro, and the metropolitan district of Quito.

The measure again includes the canton of Ponce Enríquez in Azuay, where groups involved in illegal mining are present.

Additionally, Article 8 of Decree No. 410 imposes a curfew or restriction on freedom of movement every day from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. for 60 days.

This curfew will be applied in 19 cantons across four provinces, as well as one parish in Guayaquil. Here are the affected locations:

  • Ponce Enríquez
  • Durán
  • Balao
  • Tenguel
  • Babahoyo
  • Buena Fe
  • Quevedo
  • Pueblo Viejo
  • Vinces
  • Valencia
  • Ventanas
  • Mocache
  • Urdaneta
  • Baba
  • Palenque
  • Quinsaloma
  • Montalvo
  • Joya de los Sachas
  • Puerto Francisco de Orellana
  • Loreto

The decree reminds that people circulating during the restricted hours will be placed at the disposal of the competent authorities." -

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 ...
