Title: Notorious Drug Lord Escapes Prison, Ecuador Declares State of Emergency
In a shocking turn of events, Adolfo Macías, a notorious gang leader and drug lord, has escaped from prison in Ecuador, plunging the country into chaos. The escape has prompted President Daniel Noboa to declare a revised decree designating 20 drug gangs as terrorist groups as a response to the surge in violence.
President Noboa’s decree not only labels the drug gangs as terrorist organizations but also authorizes the military to “neutralize” these groups within international humanitarian law. The revised decree comes after multiple attacks both inside and outside of prisons, resulting in the murder of police and prison guards.
Macías, who was supposed to be transferred to a maximum security facility on the day of his escape, has evaded capture, and his whereabouts remain unknown. As a result of the escalating violence and the escape of the notorious drug lord, President Noboa has declared a 60-day state of emergency.
The violence reached a horrifying peak on Tuesday when masked men armed with guns and explosives broke onto the set of a public television channel during a live broadcast. The assailants were swiftly apprehended, with all 13 intruders taken into custody. They will face charges of terrorism, potentially facing up to 13 years in prison.
Ecuador, once considered a relatively peaceful country, has experienced a significant increase in violence in recent years, primarily fueled by the drug trade. President Noboa has vowed to bring back peace to all Ecuadorians and tackle the drug trade-related violence head-on.
The declaration of drug gangs as terrorist groups marks a drastic move by the Ecuadorian government to address the deepening crisis. President Noboa’s determination to tackle the notorious drug trade and restore order reflects the growing urgency in the country.
As the search for Adolfo Macías intensifies, Ecuador holds its breath, waiting for his capture. Meanwhile, the people hope for a quick end to the violence that has gripped the nation, as President Noboa takes decisive measures to restore peace and security to all Ecuadorians.
