With curfews announced around Nigeria, the #EndSARS protests have been halted. However, in the diaspora, Nigerians picked up the pace of protests with protests recorded in Zurich, Paris, New Zealand , Berlin, Toronto, Belgium and other cities around the globe.
The maturity, bravery and organisation of the protestors in the face of mass murder and torture by police and army have amazed everyone, especially that it was begun and guided by the Feminist Coalition. No party was allowed to hijack the uprising and funds collected are being distributed to victims, etc.
In reality it seems that only when outbreaks of mass uncontrollable looting and destruction began that politicians began hypocritical moves for reforms that they will certainly try to ignore as always before.
The #EndSARS movement is a reminder of why we need to abolish the ruling class’s police forces and create community controlled arbitration and retribution systems around the world.

Nigeria’s #EndSARS protests
from Freedom News, shared with thanks.
As social movements continue around the world to end the impunity that police forces have, the African continent has seen their biggest movement within the country of Nigeria with the #EndSARS protests.
Nigeria has the largest population on the continent, and the largest population of young people has taken to the streets to protest the torture and brutality Nigerians are facing at the hands of police.
The Nigerian government has barely acknowledged some of the problems exist, the protests have turned toward social change demands, with citizens calling for more anti-corruption crackdowns in the government and social and structural changes nationwide.
