Due to a massive energy crisis in Ecuador, its President Daniel Noboa has announced a two-month state of emergency in the country.
 
Expreso news agency quoted Noboa's decree as saying that the state of emergency would be declared "in connection with serious domestic unrest and public disasters throughout the country, which were caused by the emergency situation in the electric energy sector, in order to secure continuous energy services."

During the state of emergency which will be in force for two months, Ecuadorian police and armed forces will be dispatched to protect the energy infrastructure to stop potential sabotages and terrorist acts, the decree added.

Ecuador is going through a major energy crisis caused by the shutdown of hydroelectric plants at the desiccated reservoirs, which are its main power generators.

The country's government filed a complaint on April 17 with the prosecutor's office against 22 senior officials of the Ministry of Energy and Mines, one of whom is former Minister Andrea Arrobo, who allegedly purposely withheld information essential to the functioning of the country's energy system.
