BRAZIL'S OWN GOAL: Response to protests more suited to years of military dictatorship

Brazil Government estimates it will spend around 1.9billion reals (£494million) on 'security' equipment, such as tanks with water cannons, pepper spray and surveillance drones, for the games – the rights group said this is hardly a sign of a country which respects its citizens’ rights to protest.

The North Bank Evening Standard (TNBES) has announced Tuesday it will bring its audience special coverage of the 2014 FIFA World Cup with specific focus on Africa’s five representatives: Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Nigeria.

The blog ‘Telling the stories of Africa to over 1 billion Africans’ stated it is committed to bringing home in a unique style the actions involving African teams in Brazil in a form of summary-reports and photos.

TNBES editor and publisher, Modou S. Joof, explains: “We will not bore you with who has taken a throw-in or goal-kick or those long, boring reads of minute by minute match reports.

“This is simply going to be summarized reports telling exactly what you need to know: the winner, the goals and goal scorers, red cards, controversies if there is and who is kicked out of the finals.
