In a bombshell announcement, the British and Ecuadorian governments revealed ongoing high-level talks to evict Julian Assange from the South American country’s London embassy.

The reports come a matter of weeks before Ecuador president Lenin Moreno’s scheduled UK visit, the leader renowned for disliking Mr Assange, having labelled him a ‘hacker’, an ‘inherited problem’ and a ‘stone in the shoe’.
Mr Assange fled to the embassy in 2012 to avoid being extradited to Sweden for alleged sex crimes, which he denies. Sweden later threw out its investigation but Assange faces arrest by British authorities for fleeing justice in the case.
Sources close to Assange reveal the WikiLeaks founder fears that the United States government is behind a push to extradite him.
