This article is part of RioOnWatch\u2019s\u00a0#VoicesFromSocialMedia<\/a>\u00a0seri<\/em>es, which compiles perspectives posted on social media by favela residents and activists about eve<\/em>nts and societal themes that arise.<\/em><\/p>\n

For the Jacarezinho<\/a> favela, in Rio de Janeiro’s North Zone<\/a>, the start of 2022 did not feel like a new year. Once again, residents were faced with the flawed \u201cretaking of the territory\u201d narrative promoted by Governor Cl\u00e1udio Castro<\/a>, the Civil Police<\/a> and the Military Police<\/a>. Eight months after the Jacarezinho Massacre<\/a>, which had taken place on May 6, 2021\u2014also defended by the governor<\/a>\u2014the favela, still recovering and mourning its 28 deaths<\/a>, began witnessing a new cycle of terror on January 19, at 5am: the so-called Integrated City Program<\/a>. Once more, fear reached the alleys of Jacarezinho, embodied by covered faces and rifles in hands.<\/p>\n

After only three weeks of the program, reports of human rights violations were already abound. Once again, residents saw old solutions being sold as new ones<\/a>. Once again, it is necessary to repeat that there is no integrated city without rights.<\/p>\n

O Governo do Estado inicia uma retomada de territ\u00f3rio na comunidade do Jacarezinho. Comunidades que est\u00e3o no entorno tamb\u00e9m ser\u00e3o ocupadas, como a do Manguinhos, Bandeira II e Conjunto Morar Carioca. Equipes do #COE<\/a>, da #CPP<\/a> e de batalh\u00f5es da capital est\u00e3o atuando no local. pic.twitter.com\/0YURTawAxj<\/a><\/p>\n
