Ecuador President Daniel Noboa has proposed the creation of a special body to draw up a new constitution with tougher laws against drug-trafficking and organised crime. Ecuador used to be an island of peace between Peru and Colombia, the two largest producers of cocaine in the world. Nestled between Colombia and Peru, Ecuador is the departure point for 70 percent of the world cocaine supply, attracting criminal gangs from overseas. Noboa has seen numerous constitutional amendments struck down by the country's highest court, a setback he now seeks to overcome with a whole new constitution. "We present clear questions for the people to express their opinions," Noboa said on X (formerly Twitter).
