🇱🇾 Migrants for Sale: Slave trade in Libya | Counting the Cost

[@mysteriousdude280]

Why isn't African Union doing anything. We should put pressure on our governments to do something about this inhumane act

[@sporo2000]

No government has the right to stop its people from leaving for foreign countries, but have the right to stop people from entering theirs. It is a simple matter of Libyans arresting illegal immigrants into the country and deporting them, and truth be told it is easier to deport them by putting them on ship and sending them out to sea, than to send them across a border in an African country where they will simply come across the border again.

I have heard no one addressing the reasons why our African brothers are running away from their countries with their families or leaving their families behind and willing to be sold as slaves in Libya and brutalized in the most horrific manner in other countries. Do they have a choice? What do African leaders and governments have to say about their citizens being sold as slaves in Libya? Curse be on these leaders and governments! Is it not their responsibility to protect and represent their citizens who are oppressed and persecuted in other countries? Some nations will go to war if their citizens are abused abroad.

[@wahaladey3836]

Nick Harley so my mentality of work hard and make a genuine earning rather than quick cash is dangerous to Nigeria right? Do you know the sold properties to end up in Lydia? A poor person in Nigeria won’t afford to own a house or have land. These people all had something doing in Nigeria a left it for unseen millions abroad. If there was millions abroad I guess the white peoples who live and work in Nigeria won’t brother leaving their countries where money grow on trees. Once again I don’t pity them. If you’re Nigerian you will agree with me that there loads of opportunities here. And if you disagree maybe you’re one of the migrants

[@nickharley2344]

Fidelis ane jennifer I'm not Nigerian, and I'm not an immigrant. I'm an African American. I didn't mean any disrespect. I just don't understand your logic. If these people choose to leave Nigeria for another country and chase wealth that is their prerogative. Why should that have an impact on your compassion for them being sold as slaves? That mentality is ignorant, and heartless.These people are your people regardless of their decisions to leave. That mentality is the same one that got my ancestors sold to America.

[@nickharley2344]

Fidelis ane jennifer The problem with our people is that we don't stick together. We are divided over petty differences and have the heart to not care when our own are sold.

[@Tina_KF]

Sub-Saharan Africans, let us gain consciousness, please. Even before this slave trade issue emerged, I couldn't sympathise with Sub-Saharan people for the risks certain were taking to get to Europe. It's ridiculous; crossing the Mediterranean sea on an inflatable device? Really? Bringing children along with you? Why, so you can get to a land that doesn't even have the resources to sufficiently satisfy its own populations? I understand desperation, however, in this context I don't think it justifies stupidity. Yes, there is suffering in Sub-Saharan Africa, and I acknowledge the history that lead to that suffering. Notwithstanding, no long-term solutions will be obtained for the continent if Africans themselves don't fight to obtain them. If we keep accepting for our countries to be exploited, and looking for an easy way out, the cycle of mass poverty will only persist, and desperate people will only continue to be preyed upon for their desperate acts. Slavery is inexcusable, but beyond that, it's time for Sub-Saharan peoples to create lasting change for themselves in order to stop being perpetually victimised.

[@mzmissy9591]

Christine please explain y we can't plant food and live in their land. I'm not understanding I'm n America

[@BossBros]

@@mzmissy9591 Because Europe is twice as dense in population as Africa, and there isn't any land that isn't owned by anyone in Europe. If you come to Europe, you can't just plant on the land that you find, you have to buy it first. If farming is what you want, why not farm in Africa and invest those thousands of dollars that you would pay to smugglers (an average 5000 dollars) into farming equipment.

The religion of peace(christianity) then proceeded to disperse slaves through Europe and the Americas in the most brutal form of slavery known to man.
