In the past three weeks, Ecuador has carried out seven maritime operations, seizing 10.3 tons of cocaine amid an intense fight against drug trafficking. President Daniel Noboa's government is facing violence from rival organized crime groups and Ecuador has become a major shipping point for drugs to the US and Europe. With 73% of the world's cocaine transiting through its ports, the country faces a major security crisis.
