Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa angrily declined Saturday to follow the example of his ally on the South American left, Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez, in mending tattered relations with Colombia.
”Our sovereignty has been trampled on, and we have been disrespected,” Correa said during his Saturday radio show in Ecuador’s capital, Quito. He had no interest in restoring normal ties with Colombia, led by conservative President Alvaro Uribe, until there was a government, he said, “worthy of talking to.””*
