El Salvador continues its fight against gangs.
The country thus extends by thirty days the state of emergency which, since its establishment a month ago, has allowed the authorities to arrest 16,000 gang members without warrants.
Such a number of arrests is unprecedented in the last 30 years in this country.
This exceptional regime also makes it possible to restrict freedom of association and the rights of defence.
And finally, direction Rio, Brazil.
The city was once again able to host the carnival, suspended for two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Some 20,000 dancers and percussionists from the twelve samba schools were able to parade.
And the spectators were there.
