Children watch a police operation from their home at the Complexo de Alemao slum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Thursday, April 26, 2012. City officials launched a "pacification" program in 2009, in which security forces clear heavily armed gangs from slums and establish a police presence with the aim of reducing violence in Rio before the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games.
