I have no idea how others on this site think that something that happened as long ago as March 2019 (the loan being approved) and Assange's arrest MORE THAN A WEEK LATER could be related at all.
It's preposterous. It makes no logical sense.
That a country which has not received money from the IMF for more than a decade receives money and a month later, one of the most notorious fugitives holed up in said country's embassy is arrested.
I cannot fathom why anyone would think these two things that temporally happened MORE THAN A WEEK APART would be related AT ALL.
Just a few days later Assange is evicted from their ambassy in London. that must have been one of the conditions. It's how the IMF rolls, clearly, totally in the pocket of the vile empire called the USA.

AFAIK, IMF never, even loses money. Might get it a bit later but...
So, it's quite possible that US and Ecuador planned this a few months apart to look unrelated. US diplomats aren't shy at all...

Shameful.
Either that or someone has posted a month old article that happens to, topically, mention Ecuador.
Rafael Correa, the former President, was aligned with Venezuela and Chavez.
Lenin Moreno, the new President, has been much more friendly to the US despite his first name...
