QUITO, Ecuador — The Ecuadorian government and the country’s largest indigenous group reached an agreement on Thursday to end 18 days of often violent strikes that had brought the country to a virtual standstill.
The agreement, which includes lower fuel prices and other concessions, was signed by government minister Francisco Jiménez, indigenous leader Leonidas Iza and head of the Episcopal Conference, Bishop Luis Cabrera, who acted in as mediator.
