Favela Wars - Brazil

June 2003
The violence spilling out of Brazil's slums or 'favelas' has made the country's two major cities more dangerous than most war zones. Children in Rio de Janeiro are eight times more likely to die violently than those in the West Bank. "They live on a kill or be killed basis," states anthropologist Luke Dowdney, who has spent five years studying the favelas. "If they don't kill someone when they're told to, they will be killed."

12yrs ago I was working as a building contractor out in Brazil. One day the site foreman offered us some triple-pay overtime on a “confidential govt project”.

To my horror, this turned out to be driving an excavator (UNANNOUNCED) through a fully-occupied slum to ‘clear the human filth’. I was told I’d never work in the country again if I refused! Men, women & kids scrambled their few possessions as I mowed down their homes- I kept my eyes CLOSED, knowing injury & death may have resulted.

@Sh1ftyp0wersx not in 4 years, But in 8-9 years. This video is from 2003 and Lula was a great country president here. There are still many problems but the violence and social parts are much better now.
