A young Ecuadoran protester stands in front of riot police at a blockade during a march by indigenous people and other organizations to protest against their country's economic crisis, January 19. [Ecuadoran President Jamil Mahuad dollarized his country's economy in an attempt to control galloping inflation just over a week ago. This drastic measure has met with a mixed response, but has split his opposition and calmed protests which threatened to overthrow him.] Indigenous groups still plan protests and have declared they are begining a campaign of civil disobedience.
