Excerpt from Statement by the African Studies Association on Police Violen=
ce in African Countries

The African Studies Association (ASA)=2C founded in 1957 in the United Sta=
tes is the largest membership-organization of scholars about Africa. The a=
ssociation condemns the harsh policing strategies employed by some governm=
ents on the African continent=2C especially those that have been used duri=
ng the COVID-19 lockdowns and that have resulted in the deaths of its citi=
zens=2C including children. Violence and brutality by police and other sec=
urity forces=2C including defence forces=2C are endemic in a number of Afr=
ican countries.

The African Studies Association offers our deepest sympathy and condolence=
s to the families of those murdered and recognizes the trauma they have ex=
perienced while simultaneously coping with a pandemic...

We appeal to governments to refrain from using excessive force and to inst=
itute policing reforms in the context of public health and social services=
 that address approaches to community policing and public service delivery=
 comprehensively.
