Colombia's Minister of Mines and Energy, Edwin Palma, on Wednesday denounced as an "economic aggression" the 30% "security tax" imposed by Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa on imports from Colombia.
"We reject the tariff measure imposed by Ecuador, an economic aggression that breaks the principle of regional integration," Palma stated on the social network X.
Noboa explained that he made that decision because of "the lack of reciprocity and firm actions" on the part of Colombia in the fight against drug trafficking. In his statement, Noboa asserted that his government has made "real efforts to cooperate with Colombia ," despite a trade deficit exceeding $1 billion annually.
"While we have insisted on dialogue, our military continues to face criminal groups linked to drug trafficking on the border without any cooperation," he noted on his social media account. The president indicated that the measure will remain in place "until there is a real commitment" from Colombia "to jointly confront drug trafficking and illegal mining on the border, with the same seriousness and determination that Ecuador is taking today."
Ecuador's energy crisis-
The Colombian Minister of Mines recalled this Wednesday that his country maintained "the sale of energy to Ecuador when its system needed it most , even exporting on many occasions more than 450 MW in a sustained manner (90% of the capacity that the export infrastructure possesses)."
"Additionally, and anticipating that the Mazar and Coca Codo reservoirs in Ecuador might be at low levels , we recently published a resolution to enable private initiatives to participate in energy sales between countries, expanding binational energy cooperation in the face of possible deficits. I have ordered it to be dismantled ," Palma warned.
Drugs seized in Ecuador-
Ecuadorian security forces frequently seize drug shipments originating from Colombia or in border areas with that country. One of the latest seizures occurred on January 6, when the Army found 2.2 tons in the Amazonian province of Sucumbíos, which borders the departments of Nariño and Putumayo .
The soldiers suspect that the drugs belonged to the Border Commandos, a dissident group of the now-defunct Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrilla.
The Ecuadorian government also attributes to this armed group the murder of eleven soldiers on May 9 in an ambush while they were carrying out an operation against illegal mining in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

Following that attack, Noboa categorized them as "organized armed groups" along with the Oliver Sinisterra Front, the Southern Communal Dissidents, and incorporated them as enemies within the "internal armed conflict" that he declared in Ecuador in January 2024 due to the rise of criminal gangs in the country.
Furthermore, on December 24, the Ecuadorian government announced that it would keep only one border crossing open with Colombia and also with Peru , due to "national security criteria aimed at combating organized crime."
Surrounded by these countries, which are the world's two largest producers of cocaine, and with several ports on its coasts and a dollarized economy, Ecuador has become in recent years an important step for the trafficking of this drug that is mostly destined for Europe and North America.
In 2025, Ecuador seized 214.53 tons of drugs , 80 less than the record 294.61 tons reported in 2024, according to official data..." - https://www.vistazo.com/politica/internacional/2026-01-21-colombia-arancel-30-ecuador-mecanismo-facilitar-venta-energia-LD10648289?fbclid=IwY2xjawPeXklleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE0d1NvbEJHMVI5NGhuNHIyc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHt8io-eswu5xG9FdrPS1XogQJZZcQPAZfNPUDY8AnJAIIEOKTOGTtvSoRuwx_aem_Es5SnE3EV_vWven6FDezrQ

“...I never received any training in human rights or operational procedures. I worked in the control towers in Quito as a weather observer and air traffic technician. I should never have been sent out on to the streets. They took untrained personnel, because of staff shortages, and sent us to patrol,” said the soldier.
One possible line of investigation is that, after being tortured and abandoned naked miles from home in an unfamiliar area with high crime rates, the four were killed by local criminals. Suárez, the presiding judge ruled: “The abandonment of the minors in a dangerous and desolate place was the cause of the victims’ deaths.” -
