Black people are being enslaved in Libya. Right now.
This is not history, it's a live, documented crime hiding behind the word "migrant crisis."
The trap used is a fake job in Europe ad, a smuggler's promise, a debt owed for the journey. Then the border into Libya, and everything changes.
Migrants are bought and sold in car parks and garages in southern Libya, at a rate between $200 and $500 a head. Human beings, priced like cargo.
Amnesty International's research found something worse than the selling itself, prison guards extort captives and demand ransom from their relatives, sometimes torturing a prisoner so the family can hear the screams over the phone.
This isn't only West and East African migrants.
In 2026, the BBC found over 300 young men from Iraqi Kurdistan kidnapped in Libya and held for $5,000 ransom each, with militias threatening to harvest their kidneys if families didn't pay fast enough. At least one hostage is known to have died.
In April, more than 100 East African migrants escaped a trafficking camp in Bani Walid where they'd been held hostage and tortured, some for up to three years. 15 were killed during the escape itself.
It is a profit-driven system of abduction, torture, rape, forced labor and extortion built into Libya's migration route.
The EU keeps funding the Libyan coast guard that intercepts migrants at sea and hands them straight back into these same detention centers.
This is slavery. Don't let bureaucratic language like "irregular migration," and "detention centers" launder what's happening to Black and brown bodies in Libya right now.

@PSInvestor@JimboRooney13 Dans le cas où le gouvernement US classifie QS comme atout stratégique, ne vont-ils imposer un manufacturier américain sur le sol américain ? Dans ce cas, seul Corning peut aider pour le séparateur, mais pas les batteries complètes. La grande question est : qui va produire ?
@RenardJauneFL Il faut dire que les centristes ont bien fait de la merde à ne pas prendre au sérieux les questions d’immigration, de sécurité, d’identité et de souveraineté. Ils ont livré la France au RN, l’Allemagne à l’AfD: les deux plus puissants pays européens offerts à Poutine.
@BRICSinfo It’s a test: I would guess that Trump is testing Russia’s willingness to make peace. And as always, Putin is going to escalate. From there, the USA may intensify its support for Ukraine (which is back to highs anyway).
@OpexNews@EmmanuelMacron arrêtez le carnage tant qu il est encore temps . Après ne venez pas pleurer que les fr votent pour l extrême droite et ses promesses de souverainisme
