Description
Authorities demolish homes in Duran, a violent town 10 kilometres from Guayaquil, used by drug trafficking gangs for torture, murder, and drug storage. Heavily armed agents demand that occupants justify their ownership of the properties.
"There is a dispute between Chone Killers and the Latin Kings (these two gangs control Duran, and their main businesses are extortion and drug dealing, ed), mainly over territory," says an anonymous military commander. In a town of over 300,000 residents, five homicides were reported between July 15 and 21, a significant reduction from the same week last year. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
