In response to the growing violence on Ecuadorian territory, the Peruvian Armed Forces stepped up surveillance at “hot spots” along the border with Ecuador. This measure follows the declaration of emergency in five bordering regions of the country.

Defense Minister Jorge Chavez announced the reinforcement of personnel, means and logistical units in coordination with the National Police.

During his visit to the border region of Tumbes, Chávez stressed that the government decision entrusts the control of internal order to the National Police, backed by the strategic support of the Armed Forces.

In addition, the minister indicated the intention to maintain “mirror-type operations,” a practice that the Armed Forces and police of Peru and Ecuador have been conducting for six months on the bilateral border.

Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa proclaimed a state of internal armed conflict in the country through a decree, an unprecedented measure that comes in response to the violent takeover of TV channel TC by armed men during a live broadcast.

In a statement posted on its X account (formerly known as Twitter), Noboa announced the signing of the decree, identifying several transnational organized crime groups as “terrorist organizations and belligerent non-state actors.” Among the mentioned groups are “Aguilas, ÁguilasKiller, Ak47, Dark Knights, ChoneKiller, Choneros, Covicheros, Barracks of the Ugly, Cubans, Fatales, Gangster, Kater Piler, Lizards, Latin Kings, Wolves, Los p.27, Los Tiburones, Mafia 18, Mafia Clover, Patrons, R7, Tiguerones”.

Following this announcement, Noboa ordered the Armed Forces to carry out military operations to neutralize these groups. This decision comes at a time of high tension in the country, exacerbated by recent car bombings, bombings, kidnappings of police officers and the detention of officers in the prisons themselves.

The crisis reached a critical point when live television cameras captured the moment when the TC staff were subjected by hooded men, followed by gunfire and screaming, before the police arrived.

Apprehension of kidnappers

The National Police reported through its social networks that it proceeded to evacuate people present in the area to investigate the incident with media workers and restore order. In addition, they reported the capture of several individuals involved in the takeover of the canal, who entered armed and hooded.

This climate of insecurity has led institutions such as the University of Guayaquil and several businesses in Quito to close their doors, evidencing the growing fear of the escalation of violence in the country. The situation remains critical and the authorities continue to respond to the complex and dynamic security situation in Ecuador.
