Solidarity With Nigeria: #ENDSARS Movement Against Police Terror Grows

On November 20, The End SARS solidarity network organized protests outside the Nigerian embassy in DC to demand justice for protesters in Nigeria who were massacred by the Nigerian Army on October 20, 2020. Nigerian police and military have brutally repressed protesters in the massive End SARS movement, which has seen tens of thousands of Nigerians in the streets demanding that their government disband the U.S. trained Special-Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigerian army. This SARS forces maintain the rule of tiny class of rich elites who cater to U.S. and other transnational corporations at the expense of their people.

Like the uprisings in the United States against racist police terror, the #ENDSARS movement has inspired thousands to fight back against the terrorism of the capitalist state.

The End SARS Solidarity Network demands that the Nigerian government take responsibility for the Lekki Massacre and the murder of civilians and protesters, end all harassment of protesters, and release all political prisoners and drop their charges. The U.S. government should do the same for all arrests and state murders of anti-racist activists here.
