Quito becomes new battleground as criminal gangs spread across Latin America

کوئٹو لاطینی امریکہ میں جرائم پیشہ گروہوں کا نیا میدان جنگ بن گیا

क्विटो लैटिन अमेरिका में आपराधिक गिरोहों का नया युद्धक्षेत्र बन गया

Quito becomes new battleground as criminal gangs spread across Latin America

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • Criminal gangs spreading across Latin America have turned Ecuador's capital Quito into a new battleground, according to a Reuters report.
  • In the working-class Solanda neighbourhood, a residents' watch group that once patrolled with whistles and sticks has stopped its rounds after gang members moved in, bringing shootings, contract killings and extortion.
  • Heavily armed troops have replaced the patrols.
  • لاطینی امریکہ میں پھیلتے جرائم پیشہ گروہوں نے ایکواڈور کے دارالحکومت کوئٹو کو نیا میدان جنگ بنا دیا ہے۔ کوئٹو کے محنت کش علاقے سولانڈا میں رہائشیوں کا گشتی گروپ کبھی سیٹیاں اور لاٹھیاں لے کر رات کو گشت کرتا تھا، لیکن گینگ کے ارکان کے آنے کے بعد فائرنگ، ٹارگٹ کلنگ اور بھتہ خوری شروع ہو گئی تو گشت رک گیا۔ اب ان کی جگہ بھاری ہتھیاروں سے لیس فوجیوں نے لے لی ہے۔ کولمبیا اور پیرو سے کوکین کی ترسیل کے راستے کے طور پر ایکواڈور کی اہمیت بڑھنے سے ایک پرسکون ملک میں تشدد میں تیزی آئی ہے، جس سے ماہی گیر، سیاستدان، صحافی اور گھر چھوڑنے پر مجبور خاندان سب متاثر ہوئے ہیں۔ صدر ڈینیئل نوبوا نے فوجی اور پولیس کارروائی اور سخت سزاؤں سے جواب دیا ہے؛ کئی گینگ رہنما پکڑے یا مارے گئے ہیں، لیکن اس سے گینگ چھوٹے گروہوں میں بٹ گئے ہیں جو نئے علاقوں پر لڑ رہے ہیں۔
  • लैटिन अमेरिका में फैल रहे आपराधिक गिरोहों ने इक्वाडोर की राजधानी क्विटो को नया युद्धक्षेत्र बना दिया है। क्विटो के मज़दूर इलाके सोलांडा में निवासियों का गश्ती दल कभी सीटी और लाठियों के साथ रात को गश्त करता था, लेकिन गिरोह के सदस्यों के आने के बाद गोलीबारी, सुपारी हत्या और वसूली शुरू हो गई तो गश्त रुक गई। अब उनकी जगह भारी हथियारों से लैस सैनिकों ने ले ली है। कोलंबिया और पेरू से कोकीन की तस्करी के रास्ते के रूप में इक्वाडोर का महत्व बढ़ने से कभी शांत रहे देश में हिंसा तेज़ हो गई है, जिससे मछुआरे, राजनेता, पत्रकार और घर छोड़ने को मजबूर परिवार सभी प्रभावित हुए हैं। राष्ट्रपति डैनियल नोबोआ ने सैन्य और पुलिस कार्रवाई और सख्त सज़ाओं से जवाब दिया है; कई गिरोह नेता पकड़े या मारे गए हैं, लेकिन इससे गिरोह छोटे समूहों में बंट गए हैं जो नए इलाकों पर लड़ रहे हैं।

Criminal gangs spreading across Latin America have turned Ecuador's capital Quito into a new battleground, according to a Reuters report. In the working-class Solanda neighbourhood, a residents' watch group that once patrolled with whistles and sticks has stopped its rounds after gang members moved in, bringing shootings, contract killings and extortion. Heavily armed troops have replaced the patrols. Ecuador's importance as a transit route for cocaine from Colombia and Peru has fuelled a surge in violence in a country once known as tranquil, touching fishermen, politicians, journalists and families forced from their homes. President Daniel Noboa has answered with a military and police crackdown and tougher sentences; several gang leaders have been captured or killed, but that has splintered gangs into smaller groups fighting over new territory.

لاطینی امریکہ میں پھیلتے جرائم پیشہ گروہوں نے ایکواڈور کے دارالحکومت کوئٹو کو نیا میدان جنگ بنا دیا ہے۔ کوئٹو کے محنت کش علاقے سولانڈا میں رہائشیوں کا گشتی گروپ کبھی سیٹیاں اور لاٹھیاں لے کر رات کو گشت کرتا تھا، لیکن گینگ کے ارکان کے آنے کے بعد فائرنگ، ٹارگٹ کلنگ اور بھتہ خوری شروع ہو گئی تو گشت رک گیا۔ اب ان کی جگہ بھاری ہتھیاروں سے لیس فوجیوں نے لے لی ہے۔ کولمبیا اور پیرو سے کوکین کی ترسیل کے راستے کے طور پر ایکواڈور کی اہمیت بڑھنے سے ایک پرسکون ملک میں تشدد میں تیزی آئی ہے، جس سے ماہی گیر، سیاستدان، صحافی اور گھر چھوڑنے پر مجبور خاندان سب متاثر ہوئے ہیں۔ صدر ڈینیئل نوبوا نے فوجی اور پولیس کارروائی اور سخت سزاؤں سے جواب دیا ہے؛ کئی گینگ رہنما پکڑے یا مارے گئے ہیں، لیکن اس سے گینگ چھوٹے گروہوں میں بٹ گئے ہیں جو نئے علاقوں پر لڑ رہے ہیں۔
