Abstract

This study describes the results of a social analysis of mutual aid solidarity during Nigeria's #EndSARSprotests against Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) brutality in Nigeria. The results reveal that the protests achieved success with the assistance of mutual aid solidarity networks. Yet there is a dearth of literature exploring the reasons for this accomplishment. Nigeria is a country where everything done usually has a religious coloration and interpretation; however, the 2020 mutual aid solidarity in the #EndSARS protests proved otherwise. Using in-depth interviews, data were elicited from 20 youths, including participants and observers during the #EndSARS mutual aid solidarity protests. Using a phenomenological approach, this study found that the mutual aid support group transcended traditional geopolitical, gender, and religious barriers, and youth and the elderly participated in the protest. Further results show that the 2020 #End-SARS mutual aid solidarity brought about an accountable and transparent civil society, including the financial disbanding of the Nigerian Police Force, the SARS unit responsible for extrajudicial killings. The findings also indicate that Nigerian politicians are the real problem, not religion. Recommendations are discussed.

多元宗教的奈及利亚#EndSARS抗争期间互助团结的社会主义分析

摘要:本研究描述了对尼日利亚“结束非典”(# endsars)抗议活动中互助团结的社会分析结果。结果表明，在互助团结网络的帮助下，抗议活动取得了成功。然而，探索这一成就的原因的文献却很少。尼日利亚是一个每件事都有宗教色彩和解释的国家;然而，2020年在#EndSARS抗议活动中的互助团结证明并非如此。通过深度访谈，从20名青年中获取数据，其中包括#EndSARS互助团结抗议活动的参与者和观察员。本研究运用现象学方法，发现互助互助团体超越传统的地缘政治、性别、宗教障碍，青年与老年人参与抗议。进一步的结果表明，2020年#结束SARS互助团结行动带来了一个负责任和透明的民间社会，包括在财政上解散了负责法外处决的尼日利亚警察部队。调查结果还表明，尼日利亚的政客才是真正的问题，而不是宗教。讨论了建议。
