Demonstrators have taken to the streets across Ecuador to protest against President Rafael Correa's constitutional amendments that would allow him to seek a fourth term in office.

Indigenous protesters, who have been particularly vocal critics of Correa's governance, on Thursday blocked roads in six of the country's 24 provinces, including the Pan-American highway to Peru, officials said.

Anti-government sentiment has been amplified by economic problems gripping the South American country.

Indigenous groups that once supported Correa say he has failed to deliver on promises of social programmes and income equality.
