Mass protests have, in recent days, shut down parts of capital Quito and caused nationwide disruption, with further demonstrations likely according to the FCO.
The action in Ecuador, the BBC reports, stems from a government decision to end fuel subsidies as part of spending cuts agreed with the International Monetary Fund in return for a loan.
It has, however, been reported on Monday morning (14 October) that the Ecuadorian government has agreed to reinstate the subsidies in an effort to end the mass protests.
