The Ecuador Power Grid Failure and the China-Mexico-Ecuador Drug Cartels

This report discusses the recent power grid failure in Ecuador on June 19, 2024 and how recent historical Ecuador political events could have been factors that had far-reaching influence on groups that sought to use the power grid failure to communicate a message. The power grid failure could have been retaliation from numerous drug cartels involved with nation states seeking to protect their interests.

Ecuador is suspending a visa waiver agreement with China. Some Chinese nationals have taken advantage of that agreement by flying from Ecuador to Tijuana, Mexico, then illegally crossing into the U.S. at the southern border.

The South American country cited "a worrying increase in migratory flows" in Tuesday's announcement, noting that in recent months, around half of Chinese nationals coming into Ecuador didn't leave the country through regular routes or within the 90-day period allowed by law.

The move comes amid an increase in Chinese nationals at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Business heir and former legislator Daniel Noboa was sworn in as Ecuador's new president on Thursday, pledging to reduce violence and create jobs via urgent legislative reforms.

Noboa, 35, won an October 23 run-off in the South American country, which is facing deep economic challenges that have pushed thousands to migrate and spiking violence that reached an unprecedented crescendo with the murder of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio.
