Militaire politie begint het zogenaamde pacificatie proces in 2 favelas in Rio

RIO - The Military Police began in the early hours of Wednesday, the occupancy of two communities in the Complexo da Maré  in the city's North Zone: the Praia do Ramos and Roquette Pinto. The action is the kickoff for the gradual process of replacing about three thousand men of the armed forces operating in the set of slums for the implementation of four Pacifying Police Units (UPPs) within the complex.

During the night, the military police patrols were already positioned at the entrances to the two communities. There was also PM teams within the favela Praia do Ramos and Roquette Pinto. Despite the increase in policing, the mood in the favelas is one of tranquility: many residents circulated through the entries. There is no confrontation record.

Since midnight, Shock Battalion men (BPChq) also help in patrolling the region. According to the PM, at around 6, will be the turn of the Tactical Group of Motorcyclists (Getem) into action. They will act in the narrow roads of the region. The operation started yet on Tuesday, when, at around 20h, a safety belt was fitted as access to both communities.

Also according to the PM, 220 military police, who had been prepared to act in patrolling and attendance to events, continue to act in the Complexo da Maré. They make up PART of the company linked to the Coordinator of Pacifying Police and are, since November last year, working with the armed forces in the whole complex.

The Praia do ramos and Roquette Pinto are controlled by militiamen. The second stage of the process begins on the first day of May, when the military leave the Union Park, Rubens Vaz and Novo Holanda, dominated by another criminal group. Until June 30, the deadline set for the end of the agreement between the federal and state governments, the Law and Order Assurance decree (GLO), the 16 slums where about 140,000 people live, will be under the responsibility by PM.

The Taking of Tide, with areas dominated by traffickers and militia, is considered the biggest challenge of public security in Rio since November 2010, when the PM began the occupation of the complex da Penha and Alemâo. The armed forces are in these places since April last year.

"The systematic attack on the rights of indigenous peoples is unacceptable in a democratic and pluralistic society, where these rights are now treated as currency trading and political bargaining objects. But the indigenous peoples have given sufficient evidence that will not yield to this new offensive, full of hatred, discrimination, racism and incitement to violence, promoted by the owners or representatives of political and economic power.

It is to continue this struggle that the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil - APIB, calls to all peoples, indigenous organizations and leaders and their allies and partners to participate in the free Land Camp (ATL) - In defense of indigenous lands and territories to be held in Brasilia - DF 13-16 of April of the current year. At the same time in this period, the indigenous peoples and organizations will also be promoting mobilizations in the different regions of the country.

The Amazon capacity to absorb carbon from the atmosphere, fell by half in just over 20 years, this according to the most comprehensive study ever done on the subject. From a peak of two billion tons of carbon dioxide per year in the 1990s, capturing the forest was reduced to one billion tons and, for the first time, is less than the fossil fuel emissions in Latin America. 

The study, published Wednesday in the journal "Nature", was developed over 30 years, involved an international team of nearly a hundred researchers, led by the University of Leeds. 

The survey is a warning. Although Amazon will act as a kind of brake of climate change by absorbing more carbon from the atmosphere than releases, the analyzed forest dynamics shows that there is an increased rate of dying trees throughout the forest.

Millions of people protested against the corruption of president Dilma Rouseff and her PT, cynically called the' labor party', a socialisme idea in Brasil which seems a phantasm

But what will be the result when Dilma leave the theatre? She is really involved in the corruption that rumbles the country and even her mentor Lula have no strength to stop the rotten direction. Impeachment will be a option, but there are some people who screaming and longing for a militaire invention. the army as saviour for Brasil. Again? Damned. This will be be disastrous, this will be a inferno for the country. The democratization will be further away then ever. Revolution is almost impossible in this country. A new wind which will come from the left wing should be the best way, but how truthful are the politicians? Money and devils horns seems more valuable than peace and good government, eyes for the poor, homeless, sem terras, indians, justice for the people.
