Inside Ecuador’s war with drug gangs | Ecuador: Under Fire | People & Power Documentary 

my thought is i have no idea what the video showed because i spent the entire time READING subtitles!! USE VOICE DUB OVERS!!!!!!!!!!!! especially when video switches shots so fast! if i want to read i will grab a book!

Somerimes less biased than bbc smh. No where to get real news.

PLEASE GET A VOICE OVER SO WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SAYING!!

Yes, gang culture must be seen as the cringe it is. Idolising thieves, pimps, rapists and murderers is why gang culture spreads.

MS 13 gang was created in LA,USA to protect themselves from local gang. It's not empowered by music, clothes, and the way they used to talk. They were bullied so they had to like the gang leader hobbies to be accepted

God 🤣🤣🤣

yea ask god to fix pakistan first lmaooooooo

​@@SedonapassPakistan is fine. I live in Azad Kashmir and i am living a comfortable life

@@idnanali4668 don't mind these crackheads bro. Ramadan Kareem! Hope Ecuadorian government prevail.

Terrorist are worse than gangs

Some words of advice for such people: they'd have SIGNIFICANTLY more money to spend on food, if they stopped wasting it on buying drugs 🤦🤦

@@martinusv7433dude that went over your head lol… it’s the rich people who are doing drugs, the poor which are trafficking and producing them as a means of survival. All of this is the United States fault. We have the largest drug market in the world. Cocaine is snorted just as much by addicts as it is frat boys.

@@martinusv7433 you're too smart for this world

​@@martinusv7433Depends on whether they're buying the drugs themselves, or just shipping to the addicts in the US who will buy all of them.

​@@martinusv7433the thing is that if you sell the drugs you buy your probably financially better off than most of the population. Crime pays... that's why people do it. It's all fun and games till your dead or in prison.

Do yourself a favor before to speculate what you are not aware of and stop saying things that are not true because you do not say the true to people that are out of the country, check who was in the government during 8 years, first Lenin Moreno who was another corrupt President that sold Ecuador to the ones that could pay a good money for the territory with 30 years of exploration of mines, petroleum and orher sources, and the last 4 years the next President GUILLERMO LASO, he owns Banco d3 Guayaquil and other business in the country and out of the country, he is of the right win = right party = conservatives = old fashion way to lead the country with plutocracy, he is not socialist party, do not speak what you do not know. FYI, he was ex Economist Minister in 2000 with Jamil Mahuad another corrupt President right party too not socialist, no left party, here we are not speak about being married with parties, the purpose is that a man have to do the right thing, honest and work as desire to be a President leading a nation in the right path for the sake of his citizens. GUILLERMO LASO was the one that brought poverty and down the economy of Ecuador, exchanging Sucre per Dolar to a rough reality with Dolorización = Painful Economy. Also, the Legislative and the Justice Power and the Parliament were not able to take legal action against him and because he unable them since he was elected President, because he and his son in law were involved with the Albanian Mafia, dirty business, corruption during his time leading as President. To trust a politician you have to demonstrate with efficient actions, results in the short, medium, and permanent term in the Guarantee of Security without censoring the citizen with freedom of expression and respecting different opinions of its Ecuadorian citizens, and Optimal Well-being, and Quality Education, Complete International Programs of 240 minimum credits for Universities and that are Efficient, betting on easy and quick access also for primary school with a second language (English) and third language (Chinese, German, any other) International without limit of age, ethnicity, status because this guarantees a Competitive Economy that consolidates Ecuador at the level of developed countries and that of Universal Social Public Health Services, also regulating the purchase of affordable and safe housing based on the per capita income of its citizens, without crime, violence, applying fair, non-abusive regulations because Noboa is the owner along with his father who could not be President of 100 or so companies, only in time will we see if he started in politics to serve and work honestly for the people of Ecuador or are they just like the rest of the predecessor Presidents to steal money from the public coffers and evade taxes and/or create laws so that taxes are not applied to the great fortunes of the country who are well-paid and apply high taxes only to the middle and working class and the small and medium-sized businesses suffocating them, I am skeptical, I am like Saint Thomas, I have to see to believe and even if I believe with an eye, looking at who it surrounds itself with and what deals it makes and at what price for its citizens. As Mr. President Bukele said, when there is good intention from the heart for the love of his country, if he wants to do things well, it can be made possible, and there is no need to put the country in excessive debt, or ask for international help because no one helps you for free. abroad, they always want something in return, and their leaders sell the country to the highest bidder to get out of the problem quickly. So we will be watching it from inside and outside the country.

Fake Ecuadorian. Learn Latino American history before you start blaming others. Have you even stepped foot in Ecuador once? You've probably only gone to Ecuador for vacation.

Was*

Thanks for watching, dear Gabriel. 🙌

for real.. at least they don't have to deal with a group like Hamas

And? He brought some good ideas back with him 🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Wow, bro you are one of the few who sees the truth. Stop buying they will stop dying. People will never stop taking intoxicants so we need a different system that cuts out organized crime and corruption . Have a good day.

@@emptyemptiness8372 I know it’s “our” fault South America is drug ridden. I’m a social worker working with adults with substance use. I try to understand their needs but at the same rime I can’t, especially with weed being practically legal in most states.

@@Dee-ye2dk REALLY its the cocaine that brings death

@@emptyemptiness8372 America won't stop. They are the reason for a lot of suffering of the world, then have the audacity to frame any other place outside of the U.S as "dangerous"

The 🇺🇸 will always consume illicit drugs always has...just sayn 👃 🐽 🤥 👺 😅😅😅

MS13 and 18th St. were gangs that killed each other from pure hatred and were financed mainly through extorsion, kidnappings, microtrafficking, etc. They were never exporters of thousands of millions of $ worth in drugs. Also, in Ecuador, there are too many criminals infiltrated in power structures. Politicians, judges, police, military, businessman, you name it. Corruption runs too deep, alongside involvement of multiple international criminal syndicates. Is the Bukele strategy possible? Yes, it is, but it would come at a much higher human cost, and likely fail. Like Bukele himself said, if a strategy or policy worked in a country, doens't mean it will automatically work in another country.

Yea

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. We appreciate your positive feedback. 🙌

😅 should of paid attention in school

You can change the speed of a video in settings and watch it at a slower speed

Prices never go down in UK at street level

It's still present

It's still lingering around. In my state meth is more common but there's at least one crackhead in a given town.

Very much still around in the bay area.

They seized 18 tonnes in the UK last year alone

stupid. Didn’t you just watch what’s happening over there?

At the moment most of the country is pretty safe, you just don't have to be around Esmeraldas or Guayas provinces, then the rest of Ecuador is quiet safe I live in Banos one of the most touristic places in the country.

@@ecuadorvideos has Tito been captured

it depends where but yes there are safe places

You know you can buy coke in your own country you don't need to travel to the warzone

almost as bad as Hamas 😬

@@adamdudley8736 Americans were Hamas during the revolutionary war. It was won by gorilla fighters, not the tiny army. One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. Grow up.

What other drugs? It’s only cocaine

But the cartel problem will still remain. They could sell their drugs cheaper than what legal pharmas would as well as human trafficking, extortion, protection racket...the crimes these people will still engage in is endless.

@@yangerjamir0906 It wouldn't be the same at all. The market would shift, they'd lose so much money, and power alongside it. That's the point, not magically solving all crime.

CIA drugs.

100% but we know america will not be held accountable. BUT, we know that the country is paying. Look at the U.S now as it slowly falls apart.

If you actually watched the video, you'd realize that the video talks specifically about CJNG now working with Ecuador gangs. So no, it's not an error. 9:05

@@KdotLINE it is because CJNG is not present in Ecuador in the way that it's portrayed at the beggining of this video. All that footage is from Mexico.

@@sss-gl9et Ok? I mean, just because they don't have footage of CJNG IN Ecuador doesn't mean they aren't there. It's the only footage available (I'm assuming), so it's not an error.

@@KdotLINE No it's not the only footage lol. I see what ur saying but it can be misleading. Point is CJNG doesn't act as an armed group in Ecuador.

Sadly that's up to the "1st world" countries.

Stupid comment

Are u serious???
