Game Changers 2021: No End in Sight for Ecuador's Downward Spiral

Description

Ecuador's descent into violence followed a common path: more cocaine led to more cash and more weapons for the gangs. The government, already distracted by COVID-19, could not contain the rising conflict, especially in the country's overcrowded prison system.
