The disgusting reality of those who try to cross over to Europe.
Most likely was lined up by traffickers from back home

Here’s more background on the image (also see https://www.refugeesinlibya.org)

“Breaking News: Dozens kidnapped for Ransom in Kufra, Libya.

Naima Jamal is among dozens of victims of Libya’s modern slave trade.

Naima Jamal, a 20-year-old Ethiopian woman from Oromia, was abducted shortly after her arrival in Libya in May 2024. Since then, her family has been subjected to enormous demands from human traffickers, their calls laden with threats and cruelty, their ransom demands rise and shift with each passing week. The latest demand: $6,000 for her release.

This morning, the traffickers sent a video of Naima being tortured. The footage, which her family received with horror, shows the unimaginable brutality of Libya’s trafficking networks. Naima is not alone. In another image sent alongside the video, over 50 other victims can be seen, their bodies and spirits shackled, awaiting to be auctioned like commodities in a market that has no place in humanity but thrives in Libya, a nation where the echoes of its ancient slave trade still roar loud and unbroken.

“This is the reality of Libya today,” writes activist and survivor David Yambio in response to this atrocity. “It is not enough to call it chaotic or lawless; that would be too kind. Libya is a machine built to grind Black bodies into dust. The auctions today carry the same cold calculations as those centuries ago: a man reduced to the strength of his arms, a woman to the curve of her back, a child to the potential of their years.”

Naima’s present situation is one of many. Libya has become a graveyard for Black migrants, a place where the dehumanization of Blackness is neither hidden nor condemned. Traffickers operate openly, fueled by impunity and the complicity of systems that turn a blind eye to this horror. And the world, Yambio reminds us, looks the other way:

“Libya is Europe’s shadow, the unspoken truth of its migration policy—a hell constructed by Arab racism and fueled by European indifference. They call it border control, but it is cruelty dressed in bureaucracy.”

The $6,000 ransom demanded for Naima is not just a price for her life; it is a price for the silence of a global community that allows this horror to happen to the black child. And yet, for many, this is not survival, it is a cycle of endless suffering.

Naima’s fate, and that of the 50 other victims in Kufra, remains uncertain. Their cries are met with indifference by those who could intervene but choose not to. Meanwhile, their families are left to battle with the impossible, raising the funds demanded by traffickers or risking the loss of their loved ones forever.

The world must confront the uncomfortable truth: the slave trade is alive and thriving in Libya. It thrives in the silence of nations, in the shadows of complicit systems, and in the unchecked racism that dehumanizes Black lives. Naima’s story, as Yambio writes, is not an anomaly, it is the legacy of a history that refuses to end.”

Islam and its adherents need to eradicated from the continent

 

[3rdWorld]

The Eurasian Arabs are our mortal enemies, and Black people that consider them brothers and pray to their prophet are traitors..ignorance can no longer be a valid reason.

I'm with the Israelis everytime they Target and Raid these absolute vermin.
Now watch all their religious apologist koons, and that's where the problem lies.

 

[The Fade]

North Africa needs to be razed

 

[thefloorislava]

African union needs to organize a military expedition into Libya to rescue the African migrants held captive.

[JadeB]

Why fukk Gaddafi?

Gaddafi was a dictator who not only brutalized his own people but also attacked several sub-Saharan countries in Africa like Chad and Niger unprovoked

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

African union needs to organize a military expedition into Libya to rescue the African migrants held captive.

what are they going to do about the Africans that will still continue to run to Arabs and their proxies for "opportunity"

Ethiopia, Kenya... several governments have told their people to not go to certain areas because of enslavement practises in modern times.

Libya is an issue because West Africans use it to pass thru heading to Europe but LIbya has been know to kidnap black migrants for ages and they still keep going...



it's fukked up but you can't stop these people from running into the arms of slavers. they won't listen

Africa union needs to put international pressure and sanctions on these countries for humans rights violations but the people need to also respect themselves.
