Ecuador’s forcible entry into Mexico’s Quito embassy is a flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The Ecuadorian government must be held accountable and international law must be upheld.

JUST IN: Ecuador is in total chaos as armed gangs have reportedly stormed University of Guayaquil, attempting to kidnap students. The incident comes as a television station crew was taken hostage on live air. The chaos is in response to President Daniel Noboa's decision to call for a state of emergency after the escape of crime boss Adolfo Macías. There are also videos circulating of executions being carried out.

A huge city, perhaps 2,500 years old, with many thousands of inhabitants, has been found beneath the Amazon jungle in Ecuador. Amazing. bbc.com/news/science-e…
