Nueva fase militar de EE. UU. en Latinoamérica: El Comando Sur lanza ofensiva directa en Ecuador
QUITO.- Estados Unidos acaba de marcar un punto de inflexión en su estrategia de seguridad para el hemisferio sur. En las últimas horas, el Comando Sur de los Estados Unidos (SOUTHCOM) anunció el inicio de operaciones conjuntas con las Fuerzas Armadas locales, enfocadas estrictamente en el combate a estructuras criminales de alta peligrosidad.
Objetivos Prioritarios: Los Choneros y Los Lobos
Esta ofensiva no es casualidad. El Departamento de Estado designó oficialmente en 2025 a las organizaciones Los Choneros y Los Lobos como objetivos de interés internacional. Según el comunicado oficial, esta etapa representa una lucha más directa y coordinada contra el crimen organizado transnacional.
El epicentro de estas operaciones es Ecuador, país que se ha convertido en el aliado estratégico clave de Washington en la región.
El rol del General Francis L. Donovan
El comandante del Comando Sur, el General Francis L. Donovan, elogió públicamente la “valentía y determinación” de las fuerzas ecuatorianas tras su reciente visita a Quito. Durante su estancia, se reunió con el presidente Daniel Noboa para sellar la estrategia que busca desmantelar las rutas del narcotráfico.
Aunque la versión oficial de Washington sostiene que su rol se limita a:
- Asesoría táctica.
- Inteligencia avanzada.
- Vigilancia aérea.
Fuentes citadas por agencias internacionales sugieren que estamos ante la primera operación terrestre significativa contra carteles en suelo latinoamericano en la década actual.
Conexión Global: De Quito a Europa
La intervención no solo involucra a las Américas. Agencias como Europol han colaborado activamente para desmantelar redes que utilizaban contenedores de fruta para enviar sustancias ilícitas hacia puertos europeos. Desde 2025, se han reportado más de 40 intercepciones exitosas en aguas del Caribe y el Pacífico.
¿Una nueva era de intervención?
Con gran parte de los detalles bajo estatus de información clasificada, la pregunta queda en el aire: ¿Es este el inicio de una presencia militar estadounidense permanente en la región o una medida temporal de emergencia?
