Ecuador's Gang Leader 'Fito' Sparks Wave of Violence and Fear

José Adolfo Macías Villamar, leader of the Ecuadorian gang Los Choneros, has gone missing from his prison cell, prompting the government to declare a state of emergency and deploy the military into prisons. Macías, known as "Fito," has a history of criminal activities and was serving a 34-year sentence for drug trafficking. His disappearance has led to a wave of attacks across Ecuador, including a brazen raid at a television station. Authorities suspect he may have escaped from his cell, but his whereabouts remain unknown.
