The country's main cities are facing a shortage of electricity, as a drought caused by the El Niño weather pattern has left reservoirs dry and hydroelectric plants gasping for power. Ahoy, mateys! The Ministry of Energy has decreed that power must be rationed, with the possibility of more cuts on the horizon.Across the border in Colombia, the situation is no better, with Bogotá forced to ration water due to record-low reservoir levels.

Some see opportunity in the darkness, like Oriannis Arcano, whose candle shop sees a boost in sales during the blackouts. President Daniel Noboa, on the other hand, blames political sabotage for the power woes, as he faces a crucial referendum on security policies.As the people of Ecuador face these challenges, they stand together, ready to weather the storm and emerge stronger on the other side. Arrr, me hearties, let's band together and navigate these troubled waters with courage and camaraderie!
