- Rise of Violence: Ecuador, once considered one of the safest countries in Latin America, has experienced a dramatic surge in violence, with its homicide rate becoming one of the highest in the region. This shift is largely due to the influx of transnational criminal organizations, including Mexican cartels like the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation Cartel, and European groups such as the Albanian mafia. These groups have taken advantage of Ecuador's strategic location and weakened state institutions to establish strongholds,
- Economic and Social Impact: The economic downturn, exacerbated by austerity measures and the COVID-19 pandemic, has provided a steady supply of young, unemployed recruits for criminal organizations. This has led to an increase in extortion, affecting businesses across the country, including remote areas like the Galapagos Islands. The resulting environment of fear and insecurity has significantly impacted daily life and business operations.
- State Response and Challenges: The Ecuadorian government has struggled to address the growing influence of these criminal organizations. The administration of former President Rafael Correa made several policy decisions that weakened Ecuador's ability to combat narcotrafficking, such as closing a U.S. military base and reducing cooperation with the DEA. Subsequent administrations have faced difficulties reversing these decisions and effectively addressing the escalating violence,
- Journalistic and Civil Society Risks: The surge in violence has also put journalists and civil society at risk. Reporting on criminal activities and corruption has become increasingly dangerous, leading to self-censorship and the exile of several journalists. The hostile environment limits the ability of the press to hold criminal organizations and the government accountable, further complicating efforts to address the crisis.
