World News Day: Friendship Bridge closed


Friends interrupted: Suddenly, the thousands of Brazilians crossing the International Friendship Bridge to Ciudad del Este to work or shop were unable to cross. — Paulo Lisboa/100 Fronteiras

When will hope return?

IT all happened very fast. There was no time to prepare the mind for what was coming. We woke up on March 18 with the news of the closed bridge. Suddenly the busiest border in Brazil stopped and a part of our identity was gone.
