extremely worried about ppl wanting to pressure the UK and US to take action, becos what type of action do you think they’ll come up with? how do you think nigeria got here in the first place?
how do western states “help” unstable nations? they either implement economic sanctions and send in more military — what exactly do you want to happen? #EndSARS
I’ve been watching this unfold for weeks and I know it was fatigue that made me so quiet, which I do feel ashamed of (who am i to feel so tired? we’ve always been tired?) we are seeing the same modes of resistance and violence across the world. none of this is isolated!
your understanding of global politics needs to grow up and it needs to grow up fast! if you don’t know who buhari is, open google! if you’re unaware of the previous attempts of SARS reforms, you better google! when we said abolition or nothing, nigeria was not exempt #EndSARS
