Soldiers take part in a crackdown on crime gangs, at the Lins de Vasconcelos slum complex in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on August 5, 2017. Thousands of Brazilian army troops raided Rio de Janeiro slums leaving parts of the city looking like a war zone. Their main goal was to stop gangs behind a surge in brazen robberies of commercial trucks, with arrest warrants issued for 40 people. However, the unusually aggressive pre-dawn operation also follows wider concerns that nearly bankrupt post-Olympic Rio is spinning out of control. (Photo by Apu Gomes/AFP Photo)
