The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission has expressed shock at the brutal murder of Mr. George Floyd, a black American caused by police in the US and offered its deepest condolences to the family.

In a statement, the Commission indicated that it supports the disapproval of the development as expressed by the Chairperson of the African Union Commission as it invokes historic resolution against racial discrimination in the US, as adopted by Heads of States and Government of the Organization of Africa Union as far back as the 1964s.

The Commission believes that the democratic tradition of the United States of America would inspire efforts to find a permanent solution to the unfortunate phenomenon.
