Without being presumptuous, may I make a proposal on how #EndSARS, #EndPoliceBrutality protest could continue and how progressive compromises on both sides are recognized without compromising momentum?:
I propose that as soon as the government arraigns those who shot at protesters in Surulere, Ogbomosho, Ile-Ife, Benin, Delta, Abuja etc, the protest stops blocking roads and volunteer marshalls assist commuters to pass while protesters retain their right to hold peaceful vigil.
If protesters are shot at anywhere, or there's evidence of betrayal of trust, the protest returns to its previous form until remediation takes place. This way, you provide incentive for compromise while demonstrating that our power is not without control.
We can proceed to houses of assembly, or government houses and if they refuse to address us, sit in until they do. But if they have made measurable commitments directly to us, we can keep vigil in civic spaces, peacefully and retain our right to disrupt if the need arises
Proposal only.
