On 9 January 2024, an armed conflict broke out in Ecuador involving the country's government against several organized crime groups, most notably Los Choneros.

Contents

Reports of armed attacks throughout Guayaquil were widespread, occurring primarily in prisons, markets, roads, and universities. [5] [6] The large-scale attacks were a combination of responses to the escape of Los Choneros leader José Adolfo Macías Villamar in Guayaquil, [7] and President Daniel Noboa declaring a state of emergency and then an internal state of war. [6]

Background

Since 2018, Ecuador has faced a historic wave of violence as the country has become a critical cocaine transit point, and organized crime groups compete for control of drug routes and prisons. Hundreds of prison inmates have been killed in prison fights. [8]

In 2019 massive riots broke out in response to austerity measures. [9] On 10 October, the capital city of Quito was overrun by the protesters forcing president Lenin Moreno to relocate the government to Guayaquil. [10] Returning the fuel subsidies ended these clashes. [11]

On 7 January 2024, Los Choneros leader José Adolfo Macías Villamar escaped from prison in Guayaquil on the day of his scheduled transfer to a maximum-security prison. The events were reported the next day by authorities, with charges being filed against two corrections officers. [7] [12] On 9 January, Fabricio Colon Pico, the leader of another criminal group, Los Lobos, also escaped from prison in Riobamba four days after he had been arrested for plotting to kill Attorney-General Diana Salazar Méndez. [13] [14]

Following the escape, President Daniel Noboa declared a state of emergency to last for 60 days, [6] granting authorities the power to suspend people's rights and allowing the military to be mobilized inside prisons. Riots ensued in multiple prisons across Ecuador. [15] A series of attacks took place, including attacks with explosives on businesses and private vehicles and an explosion near the house of the president of the National Court of Justice  [ es ]. [16] On the night of 8 January, four police officers were kidnapped in Quito and Quevedo. [7]

According to The Washington Post , intelligence analysts said that the attacks may have been triggered at least in part by a recent investigation into links between drug traffickers, criminal gangs, and political operators. The operation, known as Metastasis, led to the arrests of at least 20 top security officials and judges in December 2023 for alleged criminal activity benefiting a drug trafficker. [8]

Conflict

On 9 January 2024, armed groups in Ecuador issued threats of "war", prompting the country's president to declare a state of armed internal conflict and authorize military operations against these groups. [17] [18] On the same day, Los Choneros gunmen [5] forcibly entered a TC Televisión studio in Guayaquil, where they took journalists hostage during a live newscast. [19] Later in the day, the Ecuadorian police raided the TV studio, released the journalists, and arrested the gang members. [5] One journalist was injured after being shot in the leg while another station employee suffered a broken arm. [20] Some of the attackers were reported to be minors. [21]

In Quito at 15:00, officials of the Palacio de Carondelet in the historic center and other state institutions were evacuated for safety. Many businesses closed their commercial activities for the day. An explosive device was later found and deactivated in the vicinity of the Obelisco de la Vicentina. It was also reported that the vehicle restriction system called pico y placa was suspended until further notice. [22]

Several hospitals in Guayaquil were targets of violent acts, including Teodoro Maldonado  [ es ], Luis Vernaza  [ es ], Guayaquil  [ es ], El Niño and Los Ceibos  [ es ]. [23] The assaults on the hospitals ranged from robberies of medical personnel to shooting at medical facilities. During an attack near Ceibos Hospital, the singer Diego Gallardo (also known as "Aire del Golfo") and a high school student were shot and wounded. Both were treated at the same hospital, where Gallardo died from his injuries. [24]

Concurrently, another group took police officers hostage, coercing them to read a message characterizing the events as a reaction to Noboa's declared state of emergency. [19] Additionally, a kidnapping incident unfolded at the University of Guayaquil campus, where students barricaded themselves inside classrooms. [5]

Several attacks on civilians were reported. At the Centro Comercial Albán Borja  [ es ] in Guayaquil, two civilians were shot and killed. [25] Two police officers were killed in an attack in Nobol. [26] Videos began circulating online showing prison guards being executed, while others requested a dialogue with Noboa, threatening to continue killing more guards. [27] One gang announcement threatened to kill anyone out in the streets after 11 pm. [12] Two vehicles and a gas station were set on fire in Esmeraldas. [14] Explosions were also reported across the country, particularly in Guayaquil, Cuenca, Machala, and Loja, as well as in Esmeraldas and Los Rios Provinces. [28]

Banks, markets, and shops were closed throughout the country in cities such as Quito and Guayaquil to protect merchants and customers from armed attacks. [29] [30]

Government response

President Daniel Noboa declared in a decree that the country was experiencing an "internal armed conflict" and ordered the military to carry out operations to neutralize armed groups. [31] The head of the Armed Forces of Ecuador, Jaime Vela Erazo said in response to the decree that there will be "no negotiations" with armed groups. [32] Noboa identified these organized crime groups as "terrorist organizations and belligerent non-state actors." [31] The National Assembly subsequently approved the measures unanimously. [33]

That same day the Ministry of Education suspended in-person classes and mandated virtual learning until 12 January. [34]

Noboa announced that transportation in Quito would cease operations, except for the Quito Metro, which would run under limited stops and hours. [35] He also stated that the Mariscal Sucre International Airport in Quito would remain open but with increased security. [36] Noboa also said that foreign inmates were to be deported to reduce the prison population. [37]
