Ecuador imposes curfew in four provinces from Sept 17
El UniversoLO·EC·about 7 hours ago
Ecuador has enacted three curfews in 2026, with the first on March 13 and a second on April 28, and a third now reported. The repeated measures indicate a sustained security crisis, likely linked to gang violence, though details on the third curfew's scope and trigger are unclear. This reflects the government's escalating reliance on emergency powers to maintain order.
