Ecuador president still smarting from Colombian border incursion
Ecuador's President Rafael Correa has said he will not restore diplomatic ties with Colombia until its president, Alvaro Uribe, leaves office in 2010, reports the BBC this morning.
It is the latest diplomatic salvo between the two countries since they broke off relations in March after a Colombian raid into Ecuador.
Meanwhile, Correa isn't taking any chances and is fortifying defenses on the country's border with Colombia, according to the Associated Press.
"Defense Minister Javier Ponce said in an interview that the government is buying six Israeli-made unmanned aerial vehicles and new radar so it can get a better handle on its borders, especially the troubled frontier with Colombia."
