A few more items re: Ecuador. I think this’ll be my last Ecuador-related post for a while.
First, an on-the-ground report from my Ecuadorian friend Dennis P. I emailed him to ask what he thought about all the turmoil. To paraphrase Dennis’s response in Spanish, he said this:
“It’s all a mess. I don’t know. I don’t really have an opinion. I may be leaving the country this summer.”
That’s a great encapsulation of the dismay inherent in the situation for Ecuadorians. It sucks. Maybe I can leave Ecuador soon.
Other stuff:
MSNBC: “Ecuadorean immigrants worry from afar.”
AP: “Political power on the airwaves: Ecuador radio station has role in ouster of president.”
Randy Paul: “Lucio Gutierrez’s departure from Ecuador to asylum in Brazil is not yet a done deal as the government of Ecuador (which despite my distaste for Gutierrez, certainly has its own legitimacy problems) is not going to grant him safe passage just yet.”
