Ecuador is sinds eind 2020 getuige van een verontrustende toename van geweld, gekenmerkt door een toename van drugsgerelateerde activiteiten en gewelddadige moorden. Aanvallen op politieke kandidaten en leiders door criminele groepen nemen toe. Politici zijn steeds vaker het doelwit, vooral tijdens verkiezingen, omdat georganiseerde misdaadgroepen het lokale bestuur binnendringen in een poging om gunstige omstandigheden te cre\u00ebren voor hun activiteiten. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Op 15 mei werd in de buurt van Plaza Shiva in Dur\u00e1n een aanslag gepleegd op burgemeester Luis Chonillo. Bij de schietpartij kwamen twee mensen om het leven. Bij een ander ongelukkig incident op 23 juli werd de burgemeester van Manta, Agustin Intriago, gedood bij een schietpartij door niet-ge\u00efdentificeerde mannen. Een vrouw werd ook gedood en vier anderen raakten gewond. Op 9 augustus werd de Ecuadoraanse presidentskandidaat Fernando Villavicencio tijdens een politieke bijeenkomst in Quito doodgeschoten door een niet-ge\u00efdentificeerde aanvaller. Verschillende anderen raakten gewond. Een verdachte van de moord stierf uiteindelijk aan de verwondingen die hij opliep tijdens de schietpartij; zes anderen werden aangehouden. Op 10 augustus werd de nationale noodtoestand uitgeroepen voor een periode van twee maanden als reactie op de moord. Deze criminele organisaties gebruiken dwangtactieken om de overwinning te verzekeren van kandidaten die hun belangen steunen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Het aantal moorden in het land is de afgelopen zes jaar alarmerend gestegen tot 26 per 100.000 inwoners. De strategische ligging van Ecuador tussen Colombia en Peru - 's werelds grootste knooppunt van drugshandel - draagt aanzienlijk bij aan de escalatie van het aantal moorden en schietpartijen in het land. De zwaarst getroffen provincies zijn Guayas, Esmeraldas en Manab\u00ed. Op 3 mei beval president Lasso militaire operaties in het hele land om de stijgende criminaliteit te bestrijden, voornamelijk in Guayaquil. Ondanks de bevelen is het een ontmoedigende taak geweest om het geweld in het land te beteugelen. In de nacht van 18 juni werden gewelddadige confrontaties gemeld tussen criminelen en de bewoners van het Comit\u00e9 del Pueblo. Er werden gewonden gemeld en huizen werden in brand gestoken. Op 19 juni werden ten minste zes mensen gedood en zes anderen gewond bij een gewelddadige botsing tussen vermoedelijk rivaliserende bendes in de Guasmo-sector. Er werden ook gevechten gemeld tussen drugshandelbendes in gevangenissen. De autoriteiten hebben regelmatig uitgaansverboden en noodtoestanden afgekondigd om de toename van gewelddadige criminaliteit en bendegeweld onder controle te houden.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Het land verkeert sinds mei in een staat van politieke instabiliteit toen een proces wegens afzetting tegen president Guillermo Lasso werd gestart op beschuldiging van verduistering. Op 17 mei 2023 beriep Lasso zich op de wrede dood <\/em>decreet en ontbond de Nationale Vergadering om impeachment te voorkomen. De presidentsverkiezingen, die oorspronkelijk gepland waren voor 2025, zullen plaatsvinden op 20 augustus 2023. In het hele land wordt mogelijk extra veiligheidspersoneel ingezet. Gewelddadigheden zijn waarschijnlijk vanwege het huidige politieke klimaat en de onveiligheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
