BAP Condemns Ecuadorian Authorities For The Disappearance Of Four Black Children —
December 30, 2024 - The Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) is concerned and outraged that four Afro-Ecuadorian children, between the ages of 11 and 15, can go missing for almost two weeks after coming into contact with members of the armed forces without any concerns or official statements provided by government officials. The children (the “Guayaquil Four”) are from the Las Malvinas neighborhood, a largely Black and impoverished community, in Ecuador’s largest city, Guayaquil.
BAP supports the demands of AfroEcuadorian and human rights organizations for the safe return of these boys and a transparent investigation.
