As seen above violence seem to have significantly increased. This could be due to the Sand Wars and the Dirt Revolutionary Wars that happened a few months ago.

The 2020 Election

As the 2020 Elections approach closer, tensions and hate against Sand has only risen. According the statistics from the G.A.A.S.R, violence has increased by 5% from last year, and 12% from the year before, when compared to this year. The approval rating for Sand has also significantly dropped, falling from 89% in May to 43% in June.

As more and more violence happen and crime rates escalate, it would not be surprising to see possible murders of Sand citizens. We would have to wait and see.
