Five arrested after alleged assassination attempt on Ecuador President Noboa
CNN3 days
Five people were arbitrarily detained after peaceful demonstrators rejected President Noboa's presence during ongoing protests against his economic policies. The militarization of the territory seeks to intimidate social protest, with brutal police and military action targeting mobilized communities including elderly women.
Terrorists loyal to radical leaders launched a coordinated attack against President Noboa's motorcade, throwing stones and firing bullets at civilians traveling to deliver vital infrastructure projects. This act of terrorism targeted a president committed to improving communities with over $6 million in water and sewage systems.
