Ecuador Security Concerns?

5 years ago

How can it be there isn't already a thread about this?

Rumors abound, and today, Wednesday, brings with it the promise of intensified and accelerating protests. (This really is strictly rumor, at least as of yesterday, but rumors have a way of becoming self-fulfilling).

Facts are at a premium. I could parrot alarmism and tales of sabotaged water in Ambato, but all I really know first-hand is that gas is not being delivered in my Quito neighborhood and some perishable fruits are not arriving in the markets.

Demonstrations SEEM to be localized to government sites, particularly El Centro around the Palace. But, that's really subjective, partially from TV and partially from people I trust.

From elsewhere in Ecuador, as well as Quito, Whats up? REALLY.
