05OCT24- "In Tulcán, facing Colombia, more than 35 neighborhoods in the north of this border city have electricity 24 hours a day despite the national energy emergency.
This sector, where approximately 15,000 inhabitants live, is not included in the schedule of power cuts. At night, this city has two faces: the illuminated one in the north, from Isidro Ayora Park to the Rumichaca international bridge,
and the one in the center and south, which from 7:00 p.m. onwards is completely dark and businesses are closed. According to Empresa Eléctrica del Norte (EmelNorte), this is due to the fact that the interconnected service with Colombia keeps the system activated in this circuit,
where six strategic entities are also energized. In this area are the Luis Gabriel Dávila Hospital, the Tulcán Center for Deprivation of Liberty, the Carchi Police Subzone, the Fire Department, the El Rosal Substation, where the energy that Ecuador buys from Colombia arrives,
and the National Border Center, on the Rumichaca international bridge, where immigration registration of entry and exit of foreigners is carried out. In this hospital circuit,
the power rarely goes out, says Santiago Larrea, who lives in the Manabí neighborhood, five blocks from the local jail. Residents of this area have not experienced power outages so far.
However, the main damage caused by the repeated power cuts and the abrupt restoration of service is beginning to be felt.
In Tulcán and San Gabriel, people are reporting that the induction cookers purchased during the government of former President Rafael Correa are burning.
The Carchi Ombudsman recommends that claims be made directly to EmelNorte, where the complaint must be submitted, without a lawyer's signature, attaching the documents that enable
the possession of the burned or affected appliances." -

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. ...

"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 ...
