        The Adama Combat

        by Assa Traoré and Geoffroy de Lagasnerie

        On July 19th, 2016, Adama Traoré died at Beaumont-sur-Oise, asphyxiated under the weight of three police officers. It was his 24th birthday. Since then, a combat has arisen and developed, deeply questioning politics and our own world: the Adama combat. «The Adama combat is not only the combat of the Traoré family. The death of my brother is representative of a great unrest in this France that is not doing well. My brother died under the weight of three officers and a system: he died because he was called Adama Traoré, because he was Black, because he lived in a working-class neighbourhood. The bad France, its problem with the police, colonialism, racism, the school system, the justice system, democracy: all of them are part of the Adama combat. » A. T. « The death of Adama Traoré is inscribed within a system that killed other young men before him and has killed others after him. The question of police brutality occupies a central place within it. But this subject is an entry point that allows us to access a more lucid understanding of the social world – of the School, of racism, of the public space, of the rule of Law and the justice system. Adama’s death is the result of a stifling and finger-pointing system. It is then a matter of using the fight that ensues to question the functioning of the institutions and the powers in our contemporary societies. » G. L.
