The president of Brazil removed the army chief from his post

Following the recent anti-government protests in Brazil, Brazilian President Lula de Silva has removed the army chief from his post.

According to media reports, Brazilian President Lula de Silva dismissed Army Chief Julio Cesar de Arruda. It should be remembered that he had assumed this position only a month ago۔

The media report states that 2 days ago an important meeting was held between the President and the military officers in the capital Brasília, after which the President's decision to dismiss the Army Chief has come out.

It should be remembered that even before this, the Brazilian president has openly accused that some military officers are involved in supporting the nationwide riots.

Remember that on January 8, supporters of former Brazilian President Bolso Naro protested against the government and were involved in attacks on the presidential palace, the Supreme Court and Congress in Brasilia.

So far, the police have arrested more than 2 thousand people involved in these protests.

In this regard, the Brazilian Minister of Defense says that the riots created cracks in the confidence of the top leadership of the army, after which the government has decided that there should be a change in the army.

The media says that South Eastern Army Commander Tomas Ribeiro will be made the new Army Chief in place of the sacked Army Chief.
