Title: West Africans sold as slaves in Libya for $400 Post by: #TheShadowyAbyss on November 17, 2017, 09:55:57 PM Quote West African migrants are being bought and sold openly in modern-day slave markets in Libya, survivors have told a UN agency helping them return home. Trafficked people passing through Libya have previously reported violence, extortion and slave labour. But the new testimony from the International Organization for Migration suggests that the trade in human beings has become so normalised that people are being traded in public. “The latest reports of ‘slave markets’ for migrants can be added to a long list of outrages [in Libya],” said Mohammed Abdiker, IOM’s head of operation and emergencies. “The situation is dire. The more IOM engages inside Libya, the more we learn that it is a vale of tears for all too many migrants.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/10/libya-public-slave-auctions-un-migration (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/10/libya-public-slave-auctions-un-migration) Title: Re: West Africans sold as slaves in Libya for $400 Post by: Santander on November 17, 2017, 10:52:32 PM Horrifying, and sadly, not difficult to believe.

But the second civil war and the entire breakdown of authority could have also been avoided.

It's as if humanity is evolving backwards.
