More violence in Rocinha: Five residents die as dealers from Morro da Providência, Cantagalo and Pavão-Pavãozinho try to take back Rocinha. The cops are out in force. It sounds like a continuation of the war between the Comando Vermelho (which used to control Rocinha) and Amigos dos Amigos (which controls Rocinha now.)Globo reports, in Portuguese.
Thanks to Gabe for the link.

Hi Mr. Neuwirth,
I don't know if you remember me, but I commented on your blog about mid-December looking for help on a final paper that I had to write on your book for my geography class. Your help was very much appreciated and aided greatly in the construction of my paper.
I have a few other questions for you now though of a different matter. If you would email me that would be awesome. Don't worry, I won't go giving your email address out to everybody and their uncle. My email address is: cluster@hastings.edu
Thank you very much!

I stand corrected. Five of the dead may have been from Rocinha, but they were part of the drug posse. The way I referred to them might have implied that that they were innocent bystanders. They were not.
