The Soccer War: Silence as a dominant character

As we keep on reading we realize that Kapuscinski does not narrate more of his lifetime stories, like in honduras or in Algeria, but here he dedicates his time to talk about silence and how it affects an intire society. It starts telling us how in some parts, silence is something you need to keep, to stay out of problems. "Each dictator makes a calculated effort to maintain the ideal state of silence, event though somebody is continually trying to violate it! How many victims of silence there are, and at what cost" (pgs. 189-190). Kapuscinki what is trying to tells us is that silence is what keeping in sort of way this wars on going because in some way this is a battle in a country were nobody speaks about it, and problems in prisons, are all about it.
In this part of the book, we see how kapuscinki gives his opinion about many of the things that he has experienced in his life of adventure , and gives it assosiation with the wars that have been leading in the book. He talks about silence, spirits, guerrillas, and the problem of money, that lead to wars. It is completely certain that Kapuscinski has a great connection with war and he knows so much about it that he might like it
