Ecuador jail riot: 31 inmates lifeless in clashes between rival gangs | DW News

At least 31 inmates were killed in clashes between the rival Los Lobos and Sao Box gangs inside a prison in Machala, after learning they were to be transferred to a new maximum-security facility. President Daniel Noboa’s administration, which has pledged a tough stance on crime, blames the violence on ongoing power struggles between major drug-trafficking gangs competing for dominance inside Ecuador’s overcrowded prisons.
