Even though the slave trade was abolished in Libya in 1853, it still continues unabated particularly since the fall of President Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
Black Africans from neighboring countries seeking to cross over to Europe through the Libyan coast are usually captured by Libyan rebels and sold off as slaves to local masters.
The practice is so widespread that human rights organizations are now calling for the immediate intervention of the international community.
What’s worse, the majority of these slaves are unaccompanied children fleeing war and persecution in their home countries.
There have also been claims of women refugees being captured and held as sex slaves in the North African nation.

No wonder many Black African people that make it into America 'cherish' the American society opportunity of freedom, the pursuit of happiness and prosperity regardless of the high odds of Black people daily encounter with America's social foundation of racism.
FREDRICK NGUGI, thanks for writing this eye opening report that I personally had limited information about prior to reading. Our race enemies persist in keeping its wicked foot of enslavement that humanly degenerates our race and kind.
