Apparently, organized crime is causing an uproar in Ecuador. A convicted murderer was being transferred to a maximum security prison, and he took the opportunity to escape, possibly with the help of corrupt guards.
Members of his gang, Albanian and Mexican, are on a rampage in the country. They seized a television station and attempted to broadcast from there. People are staying home, and the President of the country is vowing a crackdown on organized crime.
So reports my daughter in Quito.
