The president of Ecuador declared a state of emergency in the provinces of Guayas

The president of Ecuador declared a state of emergency in the provinces of Guayas and Esmeraldas police officers in a day of violence.
In these provinces there will be a curfew from 9:00 p.m.

In this sense, there have been a dozen assaults and attacks that have left at least 5 police officers dead.

The "acts of sabotage and terrorism" are "a declaration of open war against the rule of law, the Government" and the citizens, said the Ecuadorian president when declaring the exceptional measure.

In addition, he ordered the security forces "to act harshly, within the framework of the law" against "drug crime"
