Ecuador's President Rafael Correa has said he will dissolve the national Congress after claiming victory in constituent assembly elections.
Preliminary results show Mr Correa's Alianza Pais party with a strong majority in the assembly, which is to write a new constitution.

Well it's a crossroads for Correa, her can either deliver his promises of giving more power to people to determine their own lives or concentrate more power in the office of president. Unfortunatly i suspect it will be the latter.
