Ecuador expels Cuban diplomats and orders embassy closure
Diplomatic presence terminated within 48-hour deadline
Change
Ecuador declared Cuban diplomatic personnel persona non grata, ordered their withdrawal within 48 hours, and Cuba closed its embassy in Quito.
Why it matters

Implications
- — Consular services cease immediately — visa and assistance access disrupted
- — Governments must use third-country channels — coordination slows
