Its devastating the harbor and surrounding areas plus and ecuadorian president ial candidates assassinated just days before the election and speaking out against corruption and drug violence. It may have gotten them killed and even as it wages war in ukraine, russia is counting down to its 1st moon mission and happens in the i bring golf to our viewers on watching on tv as in the United States and do all of you around the world welcome to night. The possibility of a military conflict in this year remains very much on the table, the leaders in west african countries, the group known as eco, was met today and order the deployment of a stand by force. Now absorber, say the language there is intentionally vague, but they say the message is intended to be clear. If the shares military leaders do not reinstate the countries democratically elected president , it could put an engineer on a collision course with its neighbors. We have more now with this report we stand for can leaders arrived in a boucher to move in next . Move it urgent. Amazing. Came off to me. She is going to ignore the ultimatum to stand down from the power grab the principles. The group says, all diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis has been rejected by the military lead is now the ramping up the pressure to restore democracy. Is showing this directive that the committee of the chief of defense stuff to activate the equity done by force with all its elements immediately order the deployment of the equity fund by force to restore Constitutional Order in the republic of new shit. But it still isnt clear what that will look like for the standby force, likely to take weeks if not longer to assemble. The block also reiterated its commitment to finding a peaceful resolution. Earlier the one to talk to a national tv to announce a new government with an easy is deposed, president s mohammed bosom still, and the house erased. Concerns of growing about his well being. Were aware of recent reports, the president mohammed presume of new share and his family are living without electricity, water, food, or medicine. And i can see the following. As the secretary general is very concerned over the deplorable Living Conditions that president presume and his family are reported to be living under as it continued to be arbitrarily detained by members of the president ial guard in issue. As the political deed law continues the people of media, a wary of what comes next. Really after the who did the, our country really leaving the bad situation. Why i say, but situation, because to that, if you look everywhere, we can see everywhere there is a light top light. So thats all i think is going to use it 0. 42 on the inside of the not military interview. Tough sanctions on media maintenance, struggling with rolling power caps and supply chain disruptions free. I think through the um, susan t for residents a wasting the next move in the countrys future. Well, earlier i spoke to our west africa, corresponded america, acoya and. And i asked her to walk us through eco watches, decision today to activate this stand by force. I think thats a very important question. The 2 of us are brand. So when most of us listen to the parents and thought to statement, it was not clear exactly what the mean does not mean troops essentially on ground. I need thats what it means. Does a mean just true . So weve present, i know those sort of aggression perhaps. What does that clearly mean . I didnt see again if you, if you listen to all that kind of these, you know, have been talking about, especially when that statement came out of the, the fact that you went to having to put in any pause in any country is quite a capital intensive and so it was also invested teddy see the, the other thing is, you know, who the country is, you means trips the countries that are going to contribute. Well, whats the, you know, how much, whats with the resources will be coming from. Again, thats glazes, not a push out, but yet they didnt mention that theyre going to activate the force in all of these elements. We moved to the least also ive seen very small sense of aggression arthritis as of perceived in the fence. So be a just message enable us with us to do brent they go watch has also called on the African Union to endorse its decisions on this year. We know that eco was, would also like to have you when backing what difference would that make . I suppose thats because of the nature of the things that ive gone on in these are this cool. I also brought about the split, you know, the members of the blog. And so, because were the ones to do everything within its pots, and be sure that theyve got the bike, you know, if it can, you know, and you know, its a be so that the speaking from the same size of mild as they say, all the time people have really said there is no difference between the 2 bodies between equal us and a you. But yes because i asked him that 10. 00 is you know, or thats, thats 90 is essentially also saying, please, i agreed to this time. So i agreed to everything that we have said so that the well, all you know, regionally abroad would see to be communicating unhappy. This time stands up. But you know, as far as the vision is concerned to us vision, news years and co leaders, they defined the last deadline that was imposed by eco y. So the end of last weekend and even yesterday, theyve gone so far as to name a new government. We understand that, but half of the cabinet positions are going to civilians, but the other half are, are going to the military. I mean, how likely is it that this one to is going to back down . It means that the likely, you know, at that spot of the incentive ends where it gets in because having to also establish their own leadership and sort of consolidates the position that theyre not backing out. Im having to strategically, theres really to see this as the people that will be in charge, i guess. And so, so message you know into, because to say that i know its really moving out any time. So we dont know, maybe thats going to change because especially how because they also speak, its very strongly just type on the need for them to go see it avoids unplugged dialogue, mo, im see for the full resolution. I mean, yeah, same side as grades and stuff from the i have, theres going to be some sort of compromise. But yes, thats out of having that relationship established is quite as strong as i said, you supervise also to the body generality. Yeah, yeah, it definitely doesnt look like theyre planning to change their mind anytime soon. You know, east west africa, corresponding and like a call you joining us tonight. Im like a thank you.

Ecuador is government is declared a state of emergency after a president ial candidate was assassinated on the campaign trail. Fernando v. Ever since he was shot dead at a political rally. Now he wasnt a front runner, but his attacks on corruption had drawn numerous death threats. Speaking to supporters and what became his last speech of this democracy costs our lives. This country has cost our lives. We wont permit a new treason president ial candidate for a number of the sense you were shot. While inside the truck moments after leaving this riley where he spoke about the dangers of challenging drug cartels and addressing the corruption gripping ecuador authority said at least 9 others were injured in the shooting. The gunman was reportedly killed by police the wrong, we experienced the horror movies yet this 3040 shots were fired with machine guns. Almost all the wounded falls. I know there are some dead. And sadly, fernanda vincent, you was assassinated a little time in the last. I mean, it seemed to be sent to you had a long history of challenging those in power. First, as a journalist who exposed a Corruption Scandal involving the former president that landed him in 18 month prison sentence for defamation. And later, as a legislator and a National Assembly which was dissolved triggering the president ial election, the sense you who ran as a centrist Anti Corruption candidate, ranked 5th out of 8 in the polls. Or as a candidate, he had spoken about receiving multiple debt threads prior to his assassination. Hes believed to be the latest victim, a thriving Gang Violence that is seen a string of assassinations that included a mayor and a parliamentary candidate. I mean, i deeply regret the murder of fernando via the sent you with the hands of criminals. You will be my condolences to his family in my solid, already with his followers and friends or you my day more than ever. We reiterate the need for a firm hind against crime, while the vote will go ahead as planned. Some candidates have now suspended their kind of candidates. I asked natasha instead. Shes a south american political analyst at the university of essex. But i think he was a target because he was one of the most effective people in fighting corruption. And, and he was very critical and outspoken of the links between organized crime and politicians and military and the police. So the perpetrators of this were trying to send a clear message that dont mess with us if you are to openly critical organized crime that we are going to go after you. And this is right, very reminiscent of what took place in, in columbia for decades were in the last century. 5 president ial candidates were, were murdered. So were seeing that organized crime is taken over ecuador, and theyre completely involved affecting the outcome of elections. What, how does that happen . I mean, because weve been seeing ecuador, i guess, spiraling in, into this, you know, in more and more violence due to, for an cartels operations. But, but how did this happen to like right out the door once was really relatively speaking, one of the safer state. But if you look at back at what happened in 2016 with a Peace Agreement in columbia. So this created stability there, the organized criminal groups that already had some putting in ecuador really were able to move in to ecuador and, and do whatever they wanted. And some of this was helped by the fact that former president rafael korea took on some policies that were not particularly effective. He got rid of the surveillance of the code, so that allowed the more free rain on the coast to operate. He privatized the ports in the air force, it made it more difficult for the state to screen goods. You dismantled the elite Investigative Unit that was also really important. And then his successor learn what you know really attacked in beacon. These additional institutions which then enabled organized criminal groups to operate essentially with impunity and the culture and, you know, emerge where organized criminal groups were deciding what was taking place. What was going to happen. They were basically calling the shots how the stabilizing it, could this assassination be on the political process in the country. I understand that other candidates have suspended their president ial campaigns ahead of the election. Well, the incredibly destabilizing and damaging to democracy when Something Like this happens because it affects what people feel like they can say where they can campaign, what they can do and not do. Now, from what i heard, its going to be too difficult to, to postpone it. It would be problematic given what the constitutional rules are and so theyre going to go ahead with this, but it definitely affects the ability of people to campaign effectively.
