Ecuador Protests Against
Colombia For
Paramilitary Incursion
Quito - Ecuador on
Thursday lodged a strong
protest against Colombia
for the intrusion by
Colombian paramilitaries
into Ecuadorian
territories.
The Ecuadorian Foreign
Ministry accused the
Colombia border troops
of negligence for the
incursion by Colombian
militants into
Ecuadorian city of
Borbon 45 km from the
border with Colombia.
"The incursion is a
proof more of a lack of
Colombian military and
police control in the
border with Ecuador, so
we have requested again
the Colombian
authorities to reinforce
their presence and
border control to
prevent events like this
from happening again,"
said the ministry in a
statement.
The Ecuadorian Defense
Ministry said Tuesday
that three Ecuadorians
were injured on Sunday
night when some 20 armed
members of a Colombian
paramilitary group
called Aguilas Negras
(Black Eagles) entered a
night club in Borbon
seeking to kill an
unidentified man.
Ecuador severed ties
with Colombia on March
3, two days after the
Colombian army attacked
a camp of the
Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia (FARC)
in Ecuadorian territory
without authorization.
