What are the effects of the president’s actions? And what will happen to the Kurds in the region?<\/p>\n

The president of Ecuador, Len\u00edn Moreno, moved the country’s government out of Quito this week. Indigenous groups are leading protests against<\/a> the Moreno government’s proposed austerity package.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post<\/em><\/a> reports that five people have been killed in the demonstrations, and more than 680 people have been arrested.<\/p>\n
