Migrants and refugees are being sold as slaves by human traffickers in Libya for as little as a few hundred pounds, a shocking report has found.
Thousands of migrants still arrive in Libya, many from sub-Saharan Africa and Africa's Horn in the hopes to cross the Mediterranean.
However, as Italy and the EU have been financing and training Libya's coastguard to stem the flow of people crossing the Mediterranean, many see their journey to Europe end in Libya.



Libya, a country in chaos since the overthrow of longtime dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, more or less ceases to take any responsibility for the thousands of people stranded on the banks of the Med.
While some are sent to detention centres, many are simply left in the hands of the human traffickers whom they had either paid or owe substantial sums to.

Video obtained by CNN shows a slave auction in Libya where Nigerian men are being sold as 'big strong boys for farm work.'
On the video, the auctioneer can be heard shouting prices, before one of the men is sold for 1,200 Libyan dinars - the equivalent of $800 or £665.

There have been several reports on torture and abuse in the many detention centres in Libya, many of whom are run by local militant groups due to the current power vaccum.
Last month, the president of Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) called for EU aid to stop, saying Libya's detention of migrants 'must be named for what it is: a thriving enterprise of kidnapping, torture and extortion,'
Detainees told MSF how men are forced to run naked in the courtyard until they collapse from exhaustion, while women are raped and made to call family back home for money to free them.

Some people were forced out of their homes, but still they should go elsewhere like Arabia, Egypt.. those are descent countries and large enough to accept those people.

Finally, the Arabs started solving the problem!

Why should they go to Arabia and be treated like slaves when they can stay in their own countries and fight those elements that create havoc in their countries.

I don't see why a Nigerian should emigrate to Europe or Saudi Arabia when many parts of Nigeria are perfectly fine and peaceful to live in.

Nigeria is facing a population boom atm , There are no jobs or farmland.Only a few Nigerians are living in good conditions.

This immigrant wave is small in comparison to the weaves that will come in the future.

What I don't understand is people that are fleeing their country in uncertain terms, with dangerous methods, when there is no reason to leave their country.

For example, if there is no war and danger in where you leave, WHY on earth someone should risk a) losing his/her/their kids life in a boat in Medditeranean ? b) Why should enter a country illegally c) should sell everything he/she has to questionably travel to another where it does NOT guarantee something

Africa is the most underpopulated continent of all. Here's how big is Africa compared to Europe:



Isn't it Europe that is overpopulated, rather than Africa?
Why do westerners think that Africa is the continent with the problem, wonders Mawuna Remarque Koutonin


The UK is smaller than Gabon, but has a population of more than 60 million inhabitants compared to Gabon’s population of just over 1.5 million.

When you arrive in Europe for the first time, the first shock you get is seeing how overpopulated the place is, especially the western part.

A small country like France, which is five times smaller than the Democratic Republic of Congo, has about the same population – 67 million inhabitants. The UK is smaller than Gabon, but has a population of more than 60 million inhabitants, compared to Gabon’s population of just over 1.5 million. The worst example is a micro country like Belgium (just over 30000 km square, 167 times smaller than the Congo) which has a population of 11 million. That’s 365 people per km square, compared to the DRC’s rate of 30.

The first question you ask yourself is how they manage to feed themselves in a resource-poor continent like Europe? Why do they have so many kids when Europe is already the only continent to send more than half a billion economic and political refugees to other richer places of the world during the last five centuries? Is it because of the high fertility rate of their men or because of the cold weather which forces them to spend lots of time inside with only one activity left … copulation!

For many people concerned about overpopulation, Africa takes the centre of attention because of the recent growth of its population. But the concept of overpopulation is a fraud and a convenient ideology, because it ignores impact per capita (per one person) and focuses on simple numerics.

In reality, the USA consumes 25% of the world’s resources while its population is only 5% of the total. The west as a block - the USA and Europe - represents slightly less than 15% of the world’s population, but its consumption far outstrips most of the rest of the world, with one study finding that the US, Europe and Japan together suck up 80% of the world’s natural resources.

Africa, as a whole, has a population smaller than China, and a total GDP which is half that of a small country like France. Considering that it’s an already overpopulated continent, it’s surprising that many European countries give incentives to families to make more babies. And, for an already underpopulated continent, Africa is crowded with western overpopulation experts giving money to NGOs and governments to stop population growth. In the meantime, China is abandoning its one child policy to boost its population.

It is only in Africa that we talk about having population reduction funded by western NGOs and governments. Is it because Africa does not have resources to feed 2 billion people? No. It’s because some other nations want those resources for their own people instead.

I hope you won’t bite on this new covert war on the poor – another distraction from the real culprits. The world is overpopulated, so let’s have less rich people. That should be the real agenda.

Not all places of Africa are to be populated. Some have deserts, so have land that isn't helpful, etc.
The problem isn't this. The problem is why would you make 5,8,10 kids when you can't feed them ?

If climate changes are true, than Sahara desert is going to become Green very soon. They just need to wait a bit
