Mexican cartels have significantly expanded their influence in Ecuador, playing a major role in the country's narcotics trade and contributing to escalating violence and instability. Here are the key points summarizing their role:
  1. Drug Trafficking Hub: Ecuador has become a crucial transit point for cocaine bound for North America and Europe. Mexican cartels, notably the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels, leverage Ecuador's strategic location and relatively weak law enforcement to facilitate the movement of drugs.
  2. Local Alliances: Mexican cartels have formed alliances with local criminal organizations in Ecuador. These partnerships help them control drug trafficking routes and distribution networks within the country.
  3. Increased Violence: The presence of Mexican cartels has led to a surge in violence and crime in Ecuador. Rivalries between competing cartels and local gangs have resulted in frequent clashes, murders, and other violent incidents.
  4. Corruption: Cartels often use bribery and corruption to influence local officials and law enforcement, ensuring their operations run smoothly. This undermines the rule of law and governance in affected areas.
  5. Economic Impact: The infiltration of cartels has a significant negative impact on the local economy. The violence and instability deter investment and tourism, while also leading to increased spending on security and law enforcement.
  6. Social Consequences: The violence and corruption associated with cartel activity have severe social repercussions. Communities suffer from fear and insecurity, and there is often a rise in drug addiction and related social problems.


Ecuador has long been a transit corridor for narco traffickers. Now though, those same narco traffickers have taken up residence in the country and they are driving a wave of violence and mayhem that has seen the country wracked by car bombs, beheadings and other violence that mimics what we have seen in Mexico. In this episode, we take a look.
