Ecuador’s government is holding talks with representatives of its indigenous community.
The dialogue aims to end weeks of protest over a sharp increase in fuel and food prices – that have affected indigenous people the most.
After previously accusing strikers of laying the groundwork for a coup, President Guillermo Lasso has lifted a state of emergency and made some concessions.

Can negotiations curb their anger? Will it help solve the country’s economic crisis?
