Coup d'état

There's been a coup in Ecuador. The Congress has fired the president, and the vice president has been name in his place. The military withdrew their support for Gutierrez, paving the way for the coup. The city of Quito is still awash in protests and demonstrations from what I gather, and roads into the city have been closed to prevent more people driving in to join the protests. We are all safe in Shell, with life going on as normal.
