Askari

Soldiers of the King's African Rifles at the coronation of Edward VII in 1902

An askari was a local soldier serving in the armies of the European colonial powers in Africa, particularly in the African Great Lakes, Northeast Africa and Central Africa. The word is used in this sense in English, as well as in German, Italian, Urdu and Portuguese. In French, the word is used only in reference to native troops outside the French colonial empire. The designation is still in use today to describe police, gendarmerie and security guards.
