AP Week in Pictures: Latin America and Caribbean
- Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa won re-election on April 13, 2025, securing about 56% of the vote in the runoff election.
- The election sparked controversy as Luisa Gonzlez rejected results, claimed fraud, and called for a recount despite EU observers finding no widespread irregularities.
- Noboa has prioritized addressing organized crime during his presidency by officially recognizing it as an internal armed conflict and increasing the military's involvement in maintaining public security amid escalating criminal activity.
- April 2025 saw intense gang-related violence with at least 70 fatalities in Ecuador and frequent clashes between gangs and security forces involving numerous criminal groups.
- The continued violence challenges Noboa’s administration and suggests he must create a long-term, comprehensive security strategy to address growing insecurity.
