Incredibly, in #Brazil's Rio de Janeiro state alone, >5,197 people have been killed in the first 10 months of 2018, a figure which is significantly greater than the 3,438 civilian fatalities in the whole of #Afghanistan during 2017

Analysis: #Brazil's president-elect #JairBolsonaro has swept to power partly because of his 'No More Mr Nice Guy' stance on violent #crime, but the result of this approach in his home state of Rio de Janeiro has been a ▲45% year-on-year change in deaths at the hands of the state

To watch: in recent decades, militarised drug gangs have effectively taken over significant chunks of major Brazilian cities, with the lines between these entities and the police becoming blurrier; total dystopia could yet await #Brazil https://t.co/hr01LYxtMJ
