Brazil Unrest

The Kenyan government on Friday urged football fans to watch World Cup matches at home rather than in public places, less than a week after attacks left nearly 60 dead.

Huge investments in the FIFA World Cup and lackluster spending on public services has sparked fresh protests in Brazil. Football legend Pele feels the unrest will keep tourists away during the FIFA World Cup next month.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff said on Tuesday that her government accepted people's right to demonstrate during the World Cup but warned that it would not tolerate violence.

The advice for fans from the United States, England, Germany and Argentina comes as Brazil races to be ready for the tournament against a backdrop of social unrest over the cost of the event, poor public services and crime.

The Brazilian national team tackle Spain in the final on Sunday, but the tournament is likely to be remembered for coinciding with the worst social unrest in Brazil for 20 years.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter will be in Brazil despite the social unrest sweeping the country to watch the semi finals and final of the Confederations Cup, world football's governing body said Sunday.
