Oct. 14 (UPI) -- The Ecuadorian government and the country's indigenous leaders have made a deal to end economic austerity measures that spawned more than 10 days of protests that ground its capital city to a halt.
The agreement was reached Sunday night. Quito, the Ecuadorian capital, had been mired in violence that included fires and attacks by activists against the auditor office and news media. At least seven people died as a result of the violence.
