On Saturday night, 9/11, ten armed men invaded the quilombola territory Tanque da Rodagem and São João, in the municipality of Matões, East Maranhense, 300 km away from São Luís.However, the community resisted. Quilombolas prevented the criminals, hired by two soybean growers from Paraná and who threaten traditional life, from re-appropriating tractors, which throughout the day had deforested huge areas of the Cerrado.
