The Government of Peru on Tuesday afternoon strongly condemned the acts of violence that occurred in Ecuador a couple hours ago, which violate the fundamental rights of Ecuadorian citizens and threaten the security of that brother country.
In a statement issued by the
Foreign Affairs Ministry,
it expressed support for the Government of President Daniel Noboa, as well as for democratic institutionality and stability in Ecuador, wishing for a prompt restoration of peace and security in said country.
Moreover, Peru expressed solidarity with the victims of those acts of violence.
Criminal acts were registered in various parts of the Ecuadorian city of Guayaquil, one of the first scenes being the TC television channel headquarters, where armed and hooded men broke in during a live broadcast and took several journalists hostage.
President Noboa mentioned in a decree the existence of an
"internal armed conflict" in Ecuador and ordered the Armed Forces to carry out military actions
"under international humanitarian law and respecting human rights."
