Brazil's truth Commission

This reading is about the Senate of Brazil approving for a Truth Commission.The Truth Commission is when people try to find the truth about what the governments did to people during the military rule in 1964-1985. President Rousseff wanted this commission made because she was jailed and tortured during the military rule. She wanted the Senate to enforce this because she wanted to find out what happened to the missing people. President Rousseff made a bill to help create the Truth Commission. This connects to Ethiopia trying to take over Eritrea. The reason why is because Ethiopia went to war with Eritrea to get their land. But then they made a compromise which led to Eritrea letting Ethiopia use the Red Sea, and leaving Eritrea alone. Eritrea allowed this until Ethiopia started to try and take over Eritrea again, and then Eritrea stopped letting Ethiopia use the Red Sea anymore.
