What Ecuador is experiencing is chaos in terms of security, typical of phases when drug mafias fight over territory and want to show who is the strongest.

Considering the explosive attacks on media journalists and other events, there are people who believe that the current scenario in the country is the same as what Colombia experienced when Pablo Escobar carried out and carried out attacks; for example, when he blew up the El Espectador newspaper building.

Ecuador is experiencing bloody moments, which cause panic among all citizens, because unfortunately micro and macro gangs have already territorialized the country: each has its place of action, which is robberies, extortion, kidnappings, murders, drug trafficking, drug trafficking, people, smuggling and all illegal jobs. His only motivation is money.

There is a state vacuum or, even worse, state institutions are corrupt. What was once a salvation for citizens is now a danger. We don’t know if by seeking justice we are protecting ourselves or risking our lives. Few human beings maintain their ethics.

Despite the fact that we literally live rivers of blood, which are often hidden but never cease to exist, we are not like in the Escobar era.

To take our stage to Escobar’s is to apologize for him. The goal must be precisely not to reach the levels of violence that the Medellín cartel instilled in Colombia. But is this still possible or are we doomed to live in the times of the Uzor?

As in everything in Ecuador, there is a lack of political decisions, but what can we say about politicians, if some are involved in mafias and that is why we are talking about narcopolitics. So, it remains for us citizens to take care of ourselves and show solidarity among ourselves, as much as possible, because unarmed we cannot oppose the mafias who now have drones with explosives.

Is society ready to arm itself at this moment? Or will our emotional intelligence and impulsiveness make us start checking off all the lists of what we personally don’t like? We must purify our senses without falling into paranoia. If we don’t take care of ourselves, who will? Uniting as a society implies solidarity.

The kidnapping of a couple from Quito on the Ruta Viva showed that this road is dangerous, especially at night. According to records, even just a week ago, a body was found in this area.

Upon arrival at the Quito airport, the taxi drivers charge whatever they can think of and seem to set their prices in a cooperative manner and leave people who don’t have the means to pay their high prices free. There are other alternatives for mobilization in this sector; However, that area, where it was just an ordinary road, is now a danger.

Before we saw Guayaquil far away in its uncertainty; now we understand other cities: there are roads where there is death. (OR)
