Original: ecuador

The New York Times reports the US is deploying Reaper drones to South America to support operations against drug cartels, a move drawing wide attention in the region. Ecuador, which has seen a surge in cartel-linked violence, is a focal point of concern as governments and the US deepen security cooperation against trafficking networks.

Why now: New reports of US Reaper drone deployments against cartels in South America have put Ecuador and regional security back in the spotlight.
