YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Sky's chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay travels to Guayaquil, Ecuador, to see how police are dealing with surging gang and cartel violence related to the drug trade.

Drug gangs have been recategorised as terrorists by Ecuador's government - that means the security forces have carte blanche to do what they like.

Ecuador is being used as an international transit hub for cocaine by the powerful and uber violent Mexican drug cartels.
