Noboa has made famous speeches in support of the anti-gang campaign in Ecuador. Masked gunmen, some hired by jailed traffickers, stormed a live television station in January. This unprecedented incident made Noboa’s serious responsibility even more risky.
After this incident, the 36-year-old president of Ecuador declared a state of “internal armed war” in this country, and as a result, sent the army to pursue about 20 gangs. Criminals who are now on the “terrorist” list were able to use the emergency powers of the president.
