Nigerian Uprising (End SARS)

ska invita

back on the other side
Needs its own thread I think - seems to have escalated far beyond the End SARS goal.
My understanding is SARS has been disbanded officially, though of course that doesn't make murderous policing disappear, and the people know it and aren't satisfied

From yesterday:
The Nigerian Army have now taken over where the police left off (and their activites are, by definition, beyond the scopre of this thread):


At least 12 killed
" Many demonstrators said the assault seemed premeditated. They point out that street lights did not come on as usual amid the chaos on Tuesday night, while a large electronic billboard above the tollgate was switched off, leaving the scene in darkness later as, witnesses allege, soldiers removed bodies and bullet casings. "

Seems to me theres no going back from here in terms of anti government feeling...
 
Can't see this ending anywhere good in the short term. More state repression, more deaths


Some good context in this Freedom piece
