Ecuador's capital, Quito, witnessed intense street protests Sunday as citizens voiced anger over soaring fuel prices. Demonstrators clashed with police, who deployed tear gas to disperse crowds burning tires and blocking roads. The unrest, initiated by an indigenous organisation, targets President Daniel Noboa's decision to remove fuel subsidies. This move has significantly increased diesel costs, impacting crucial sectors like agriculture and transport.
