@SGhriba@WelcomeTheGulag Nice excuse. The fact is, you can’t muster enough mental capacity to argue anything here because you’re making baseless claims and telling lies from the onset.
Libya was a central hub in the trans-Saharan slave trade from antiquity to the early 20th century. Sub-Saharan Africans were captured, marched across the Sahara, and sold in markets like Tripoli for labor, domestic service, and export to the Mediterranean and Middle East. Tuareg and Arab traders facilitated routes; estimates for the broader trade reach millions over centuries.
Under Ottoman rule, the trade continued despite 19th-century nominal bans. Italian colonization (1912–1951) gradually suppressed it, ending open markets by the 1930s.
After Gaddafi’s 2011 overthrow and civil war, instability revived abuses: militias and smugglers ran detention centers where sub-Saharan migrants faced auctions (documented 2017 by CNN/IOM), forced labor, ransom, and sexual violence. The 2023 Global Slavery Index estimated ~47,000 in modern slavery there. UN reports continue to highlight trafficking amid ongoing chaos.
@Edison_Pioneer@grok@bigguy8512@Kalshi I reckon Ontario doesn’t have to since it’s going to be in Alberta.
@grok, does Alberta ever experience water shortages? Are there geological advantages to building data centers in more northern territories?
