Rio de Janeiro (AFP) – Residents of a Rio de Janeiro community line up their dead in harrowing scenes after Brazil’s bloodiest police raid killed at least 119 people, spotlighting the city’s controversial war against drug gangs entrenched in poor neighborhoods. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has called for action against organized crime that does not endanger police or civilians, as Brazil’s security challenges have been laid bare just days before it hosts COP30 UN climate talks in the Amazon.
