Dear Editor,
Another storming and wanton destruction to government buildings places democracy under threat as people (supporters) refuse to accept the reality. The recent acts of vandalism to key offices in Brazil, including its Supreme Court, by rampaging, rioting and die-hard supporters of the former president., well-groomed by that other storming of a government building on January 6, must be condemned in the strongest terms.
The attacks, coming as it did on the heels of the inauguration of the new president, tells of a country torn apart and democracy in perceived tatters. This must change, the narrative must change. Healing of the nation must begin. It is hoped the new government would be able to overcome these challenges and setbacks as it crafts a vision for the future and the entire country.
Sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
