03FEB25- "Pres Daniel Noboa Orders Militarization of Ports and Announces Border Closure from February 8 to 10
The President of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, made these announcements "in response to attempts to destabilize by armed groups": militarizing ports and reinforcing security at borders.

Less than a week before the general elections in Ecuador, President Daniel Noboa accused "attempts at destabilization by armed groups," prompting him to "militarize the ports immediately" and reinforce security measures at the borders with Colombia and Peru.

Noboa made this surprising announcement on his social media, following recent violent incidents that caused a stir in Ecuador, such as the case of a baby found crawling in an area of Santa Elena, where her mother had been murdered.

Additionally, the president announced the closure of the borders "from Saturday, February 8, to Monday, February 10" in Ecuador, meaning one day before and one day after the general elections.

In this regard, Noboa gave these instructions to the Security block, composed of military personnel and police:
1) Militarize the ports immediately.

2) Reinforce the military presence at the northern and southern borders of the country. Due to the destabilization attempts by armed groups, the borders will remain closed from Saturday, February 8, to Monday, February 10.

Since January 3, the government has declared a state of emergency in seven provinces of Ecuador and three cantons, including Quito, for 60 days due to increased criminal hostilities.

On February 9, Ecuadorians will go to the polls to elect a new president, assembly members, and Andean parliamentarians for the coming years. In these elections, Noboa is seeking re-election...." -

(there will be no significant improvement in Ecu until this addressed and resolved once and for all, very similar issues up NA way too, Ecu mini state likes to monkey see monkey doo big brother brothel USSA in so many ways:) 03DEC25- #Ecuador ⚖ 'Life imprisonment! For corrupt judges & lawyers- "...So, let's use the same logic with my "buddies." If as a lawyer you are found guilty of having bribed a judge or prosecutor or you are that judge or prosecutor bribed, it is impossible for us to think that it is coherent that we can once again entrust them with their participation in the system of administration of justice.

A corrupt judge, lawyer or prosecutor must be banned for life from practicing the profession. Let them go out to sweep streets or pass cafes, but in this profession they cannot participate again. Because without Justice there is no State and they have made sure that Ecuador is a failed State.

But I am more radical: I propose that the perpetual inability to practice the profession ...

"There is an agreement between the US and Ecuador on reciprocal tariffs, driven by President Donald Trump and President Noboa.

The United States announced the elimination of reciprocal tariffs for certain Ecuadorian exports, following the conclusion of a new agreement promoted by President Donald Trump and President Daniel Noboa.

The understanding incorporates chapters of trade, work, environment and security, with the aim of providing greater competitiveness and relief to the export sector of Ecuador.

The Minister of Production and Foreign Trade, Luis Jaramillo, stressed that this framework "will lay the foundations of trade, economic and national security relations", emphasizing that the agreement marks a decisive step to deepen cooperation between the two countries.

According to the Ecuadorian Government, the measure will allow to expand opportunities for domestic products and strengthen the bilateral agenda in strategic areas for development and security." -
