Ecuador crisis – President declares country at war with drugs gangs | BBC News


Ecuador’s President has declared that his country is engaged in an internal war with ruthless drugs gangs, after unprecedented violence on the streets.

Armed groups linked to drug cartels have launched a wave of bomb attacks and more than 130 prison officers are being held hostage by inmates in jails.

The violence began after a notorious drug lord escaped from prison. Tourists are being advised to stay indoors.

Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Will Grant in the city of Guayaquil, where masked gunmen stormed a TV studio.
