Ecuador ex-prez flies into exile
Mr Gutierrez fled to Brasilia four days after Ecuador's Congress dismissed him amid a wave of popular protests.

He sought refuge first at the Brazilian embassy in the capital, Quito, and left through a back gate on Sunday, evading protesters surrounding the mission.

The ex-president is believed to have left the embassy compound in a white police vehicle early on Sunday, disguised in a dark uniform complete with helmet and balaclava.
