venezuela crisis ...??

the RHS box describes this event as "..part of the venezuela crisis .." But there is no mention in the body of any connection to that crisis .

I don't know if it's explicitly laid out in any sources, and I didn't add the infobox, but the riot was over drug territory in a place that hasn't been associated with large gang trade before, and is in the north of Brazil by the Venezuelan border, which puts mass immigration and economic tensions from the north as causes of the cause of the riot. If not written in sources, it might need discussion on whether to be included, but being so close to Venezuela anyway means it isn't a jump at all. Kingsif (talk) 14:39, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
