The plight of Sub-Saharan Africans in Libya 12 Years, 8 Months ago

A few days ago John Simpson spoke about 'retribution' against Sub-Saharan Africans thought to be mercenaries because of their skin colour.

While, there is evidence that many so-called foreigners did take up arms in this conflict, the vast majority were unjustly accused and now find themselves trapped in a foreign land without money and with few friends.

........

Sleeping in disused warehouses or under the meagre shade given by abandoned fishing boats, Ghanaians, Malians, Nigerians and many others told of their desperation.

"We need help," said a 24-year-old Ghanaian man.

He denied accusations that some people at the camp had been fighters but readily admitted that many were immigrants who had come to Libya in recent years looking for work.

"We are poor, with no food and it's so dangerous that the men here don't sleep at night," said the man.

You mean Libya will not become the garden of eden for all?

these people were hired by the then lawful government of Libya until we decided on regime change. The British government and Nato allies should pay for their repatriation and offer them safety. Really..we in the West are re-colonising Africa again. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

What John Simpson was saying a few days ago and is echoed in this article is that the number of African mercenaries is far smaller than has been claimed, and most sub-saharans in Libya are not mercenaries but fear reprisals and lynchings.
