Prediction

From Jane’s Security News Brief:

A POLITICAL storm, potentially violent, is gathering in Ecuador. Estimated time of arrival: some time in July. Target: President Lucio Gutierrez. The storm will come in the form of an Indian uprising, backed by oil and power workers and far-left groups — the same groups that helped propel Gutierrez to power six months ago. But their support has not translated into political power. Government policy, meanwhile, has moved in a decidedly pro-market, pro-foreign investment direction and bears little resemblance to the radical rhetoric used by Gutierrez during the election.

Not that I particularly care abou Equadoren politics, I just want to see if Jane’s is accurate.
