GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador (AP) — Surveillance videos have emerged from the Ecuadorian coastal city of Guayaquil, showing men in military uniform grabbing two boys and driving them away. It was the last time they and two other children were seen in a case that’s now roiling the government of President Daniel Noboa. His government has leaned on the armed forces to try to reign in soaring crime. The videos also appear to back up the account by the father of two of the children about how they went missing. A dozen of the videos were reviewed by The Associated Press on Monday as protesters in the city demanded answers and Noboa pledged a full investigation.
