Libya Outrages The Global Public In Holding Slave Auctions Of Black People (Video)

November 30. 2017

The nation of Libya has enraged the world, as footage and photos have emerged of them holding slave auctions, enslaving black migrants. The images are horrible and haunting. Malnourished black migrants are seen crying and sporting visible wounds, as they are threatened and auctioned off. Slavery is an act of human cruelty and to bring it back in modern times is an abhorrent offense.

The Libyan government should face full sanctions for this inhumane, depraved, disgusting behavior transpiring on their shores. It is evil and despicable. They would not want to be made slaves. Therefore, why are they doing this to others. I am of the belief, anyone who enslaves another, should suffer the same fate in being made to do hard labor for free in prison as their punishment.

Following the CNN report, demonstrators took to the streets in Paris and other cities last week to express their outrage, and Libyans showed their solidarity on Twitter with the hashtag #LibyansAgainstSlavery.

Several world leaders spoke out as well. The chairman of the African Union, Guinean President Alpha Condé, called it a “despicable trade ... from another era” on Friday. The U.N. Support Mission in Libya said Wednesday that it was “dismayed and sickened,” and is “actively pursuing” the matter with Libyan authorities.

“I am horrified at news reports and video footage showing African migrants in Libya reportedly being sold as slaves,” U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said to reporters on Monday. “Slavery has no place in our world, and these actions are among the most egregious abuses of human rights and may amount to crimes against humanity.”...
