Conflict in Ecuador 1 Week into the Mafia War

Thank you for your update. From what I've been able to ascertain, from thousands of miles away, from my Ecuadorian friends who are scattered throughout the country, yours is the most honest spot-on evaluation I've seen of the situation. Again thank you. Stay safe and take care of your family.

Thanks for this. A prosecutor was assassinated today in Guayaquil. I too am in a location where you don’t see foreigners. The curfew gave a little relief but it seems like it’s no longer as respected. Always enjoy the content. Stay safe.

Almost every month out here in the galàpagos they capture boats full of weed or cocain. Ecuador has been one of the main corredors for years now.....

Ive been following you for almost 3 years. I started watching your from your middle east videos. I am a Army veteran that has family in Ecuador. Like tuning into your stuff.

Thank you for this valuable insight. Greetings from Mexico

Thank you for your analysis! Greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the update and analysis brother, stay safe!!!

Thanks for the insightful update; stay safe out there!

Really appreciate your honest analytical take on the situation. Stay safe .

Great video. Thanks.

Sir, your 'sense' is accurate. A person in my family is a Crisis Management Coordinator, Firefighter, and Paramedic, and he agrees with you.

Thank you very much for the update. God bless you and be very safe.🙏🏼

Glad to hear Bukeles policies are spreading

Thank you for a real time description.

Thanks for that excellent update. You seem to be fair and unbiased about it.

Thanks for the update! I'll be back in Manglaralto in April. Lets grab a beer somewhere like we did on the Ice-R

Great video. I had no idea of the magnitude of what's going on there. Stay safe amigo!

I respect and admire the clear and honest reporting, i am subscribing

Stay safe and thanks for the honest updates. Just a small thing pertaining to the professionalism of the police and military. When we lived in Ecuador my wife and I would make a game out of finding an officer on duty that was not on their cell phone. It was very rare to find one paying attention to their surroundings!

I lived in two very safe areas of the USA that had significant cartel activity, one in Arizona and one in New Mexico. I also spoke with several people affected by the cartel there. Interestingly if the locals refer to “cartel” and not “cartels” that is a good sign because it indicates there is not a competition. So when I say “cartel” I mean the dominant Sinaloa cartel which no doubt is adding funding and strategy to the trouble in Ecuador. The trouble only pops up when multiple groups are vying for power or one group is in danger of extinction. With competing groups, civilians and officials are left out of it unless it becomes clear to one group that the government favors its competitor.
