Demonstrations, Strikes, Destruction, Anger, Pain and Threat...............................
These are some of the few words that describes the state of insecurity in Brazil, host of the 2014 football festival, the FIFA WORLD CUP 2014.
In addition to this already worrisome situation, the biggest drug cartel in Brazil has promised a 'World Cup of terror' next year - in a reminder of the high level of violence that still marks the country.
The threat was issued by the First Capital Command in Sao Paulo, who last year was behind the murder of more than a hundred of the city's police officers.
Just yesterday,during a protest in Rio de Janeiro, a group of masked youths attacked shops, set fire to a police car and threw petrol bombs. In Sao Paulo shops were ransacked. Police responded with tear gas, pepper spray and sound bombs.
Football lovers might be heading to a country where security of their lives and property are not assured.
The football governing body; FIFA, is also very worried at all these developments.
