It’s the year 2018 — and yet Africans are being sold as slaves at an auction in Libya by Arabs.
Unbelievable. Horrific.
The images are shocking, outrageous, horrific, sad beyond belief.
The Observer has more:
It’s 2018, and horrifying footage has emerged of African people being sold at auction at Libyan open-air slave markets. Tens of thousands of defenseless African migrants and refugees risk everything to reach Libya’s coast and next across the Mediterranean into Europe – which is considered to be the most dangerous route on Earth. According to reports, the migrants who end up in business detention centers are sold off like goods.
Libya has become a modern-day slave market, keeping migrants at the mercy of a complex trafficking web tolerated by the country’s many militia groups, an issue largely ignored by the world, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer said on Wednesday. Narciso Contreras, who spoke to migrants kept as slaves during a documentary photography project in Libya, said global attention focused on the North African country as a gateway for migrants attempting to reach Europe by sea.
As Leonard Doyle from the International Organization for Migration tells Counting the Cost: “As shocking as it seems, it’s indeed true. The reason slave trade is happening is that there is really no rule of law across much of Libya. Libya is a country as big as France, with a lot of space there. Migrants are coming there … they see the promise of a new life when they go to their Facebook feed, and they think something wonderful is waiting for them in Europe because a smuggler has abused the system and has sold them that lie.”
Doyle explains that when the people arrive in Libya, “they get off the bus and they are quickly put into a kind of murder machine, an extortion machine. They are robbed of their possessions, their families are called. They are forced, they are tortured, they give them money. And then they are sold. Unbelievable, but they are sold in open, public auctions: $400 for a laboring man, maybe a bit more for a woman who can be put in the sex trade. And this is what’s happening across the country.”
He also stresses that this issue demonstrates that the international community has to pay more attention to post-Gaddafi Libya. He adds: “Modern-day slavery is widespread around the world and Libya is by no means unique. It’s happening in the developed countries of the world as well as the undeveloped countries. But what’s particularly shocking is that this is happening effectively in the open, where people can go to a farmhouse, place a bid and end up ‘owning’ a human being.”

Africa will either have muslim colonialism or European colonialism. They can not rule themselves.
Libya is Muslim majority country.
It did not used to be. It doesn’t have to be.
It already is.
Lets see: As many women as a man can handle; If she talks back you are allowed to retrain her; They can’t be in public without you… I see why Muslim men like their situation. Plus their “Good Book” tells them these are correct per GOD! How do you stop that? The biggest Loser is considered better than half the population. And that other half isn’t allowed to vote.
And the European/American feminists seem to have a bias toward this!
i hope slowly,slowly the leftists will get it and then just fade away into a blur of memory
And I’ve thought all along that Islam was bad. My bad.
After it was invaded by fascist scimitar-wielding pirates, sure. Before that, they weren’t muslim in Libya.
Learn from past mistakes . No point crying over spilt milk.
Learn from history to save non-muslim nations by sharing info on present and past mistakes that helped destroy these nations/cultures by jihadis.
EUROPEAN COLONIALISM ???? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DECADES WERE BORN UNDER A ROCK OR DIDN’T THEY TEACH ANY HISTORY WHERE YOU WENT TO SCHOOL ?? MOST EUROPEAN POWERS GAVE UP THEIR COLONIES IN AFRICA AFTER WW2 , THE LAST TO GIVE THEM UP WERE THE BRITISH WITH KENYA, IN FACT MR OBAMA IS ACTUALLY A BRITISH CITIZEN IF YOU BELIEVE HIS OLDEST BROTHER WHO LIVES IN KENYA .
Corporations didn’t give up their “colonies.” That is how we inherited the Vietnam War from the French.
All the Vietnamese I’ve ever met had and have no interest whatsoever in living under Communist rule.
“Inside of every gook is an American trying to get out” —- Quote from the movie Full Metal Jacket
In 1954, Eisenhower’s yr, we SAVED the French from being wiped out at Dien Bien Phu. We, the USA, maintained our presence in VN as advisors under Ike. JFK inherited Nam….
The old adage: “Give the Africans a city and they will create a pile of bricks. Give the Europeans a pile of bricks and they will create a city.” are SO VERY TRUE / OBVIOUS. Why is it “racist” rather than “objective” to even consider that there is some truth in this adage? Apparently the PC Thought Police are tuned in on this.
Well, look at the state of Chicago, the state of Detroit…etc.
Look at what the black africans did to Rhodesia (I refuse to use the current name). Look at South Africa and Rhodesia if you want to see the future of the white population in Europe. As soon as the black and muzzloid population becomes to majority they will start a genocide on the white population. GUARANTEED
To be fair, though, having been there myself once, I can tell you that Sub-Saharan Africa is in much better shape than most of North Africa. The people there are also very deeply devout, and very pro-American and pro-Israel as well!
But the Black Panther movie says otherwise.
Hollywood can create any FANTASY they want. Doesn’t make it true.
Don’t rule out China.
Left/Liberals pro-jihadis are perfectly ok to ignore this as it goes against the “RW are racist , fascist” narrative.
And If you speak the truth about islam and the perfect man they’ll find you and “keel” you like the muslims in Indianapolis are trying to do https://tinyurl.com/y9wb4j39
Did someone say Peaceful religion or was it Pieceful “Religion” ?
in Arabic, they have the same word for black or slave: ”abd”
Ok,…I got it now…
..
He thinks his friends have their own business or jobs in Europe??? LOL This is what they get for illegally immigrating. Who thinks bringing 5 million African men into Europe will give Europe a future. Where are the stories about Niger needing refuge??/
Not only is slavery justified in the Quran, it was practiced by the only man charged by Allah with modeling the religion. Slavery is at its core and cannot be distanced from it or condemned by it, lest its followers also condemn their own prophet.
Even Muhammad himself owned slaves. As did quite a few of his followers.
MuhamMAD dispensed slaves as booty to his followers — incl. after his victory over the Jews of Khybar (when he took one of the Jewish women for himself as a slave).
Hilary and Obama’s legacy.
ANY DEMOCRAT BUYERS SHOW UP ???? HELL MAYBE THE DEMS OUGHT TO PUSH FOR A RETURN OF SLAVERY HERE IN THE STATES , THEY HAVE PRETTY MUCH GOT A SLAVE POPULATION ALREADY MIGHT AS WELL MAKE IT OFFICIAL . THEY’VE BEEN PISSED OFF AT US REPUBLICANS SINCE WE TOOK AWAY THERE SLAVE OWNING RIGHTS THE FIRST TIME AROUND .
Even though I agree, typing with all CAPS is not a good way to show your ‘intelligence.’
Please, please stop making your points using all capital letters. It makes you look drunk or nutty and many people will not even read comments that are composed all in caps.
This slavery is laid at the feet of Shillary and Obozo who decided to take Qaddafi out leaving a fractured and lawless country in its wake. Demrats again responsible for much salvery in Northern Africa.
Well they did start the KKK.
And fought on the side of slavery in the Civil War.
“The Northern states had laws that forbad blacks from even living in the cities and they could not be hired at all.” Let’s see some proof for this revisionist history dirtbag Demorat.
It’s not my job to prove your lies dirtbag Demorat.
Hillary launched the Libyan invasion because Sid Blumenthal repeatedly insisted and convinced her that she would be a big hero for liberating Libya. He also had a lucrative contract to supply goods to all the warlords in Libya.
Well, it’s nothing else then a business opportunity for those Muslims, nothing else.
Streams of morons and idiots are traveling the most dangerous route there like lemmings to their doom. The only thing those Muslims do is selling their fantasy stories with the dump populations in Africa.
They have been doing that for hundreds of years. The Muslims have always been slavers. Worthless POS heathens.
Slavery is not banned in the Quran, so obviously they have little against it.
It’s Chinese colonialism now via predatory lending.
Yes, China is preying upon Africa’s resources like crazy. Have you heard of their illegal gold mining operations in Ghana alone?

Blacks seem to like being slves whether is is actual slavery or slave to government.
This is what BLM should be working against.
hell ya……some at the top of the slave gangers may be one of the organizers of BLM……they have the connections
They don’t really care what happens in Africa, because they have next to no connection to it.
African lives don’t matter though, not to BLM anyway.
Can’t do it if they tried. As I’ve said many times before (as a black man) they’re too blinded by their blackness. They cannot handle the truth and lack plain commonsense.
Several years ago I spent a morning researching the major newspapers in my state to determine the amount of arrests for human trafficking over the previous two years. There were twenty-five arrests, all for women sold into the sex trade, many of them minors. 23 of 25 perpetrators were black males, 1 was a Hispanic, and 1 was a former female prostitute. Slave traders are alive and well in the USA, but the perpetrators are different than a 175 years ago. It seems that gangs think the sex trade is safer and more profitable than drug dealing.
they must have perfected their security to be still in the trade…….the safe houses with a basement entrance are probably their underground railroad to move slaves around unseen
Stab Hillary Clinton in her eyes with a very sharp knife.
A “Night of the Long Knives”? That list was a thousand victims long. Here, now, a list that long wouldn’t begin to touch all the fascists who belong up against a wall like Nicolae Ceaușescu.
are you Romanian, by any chance??
Damn white people are to blame…..
I have ALWAYS been concerned / discombobulated / disbelieving that so many American blacks have been ready and willing to embrace Islam when it is indeed OBVIOUS that Islamists who WERE and ARE the principal procurers of African slaves. This is so bizarre! OK, the MSM has made it their jihad to cast western civilization as “the bad guy”, so… OK, it is likewise true that MANY (most?) of the enslaved Africans were initialy enslave by OTHER Africans, before and after the appearance of either Arabic muslims or westerners.
I find this illiteracy hilarious. They hate whitey, who has affirmative action, etc., But they love the Nation of Islam and Islam in general, I guess because the black converts are basically clueless.
True, and Islam was never founded by blacks in the first place, no matter how they try to spin it.
Obama was more concerned that restrooms be open to all sexes (almost too many to mention here). That will be his legacy, unisex bathrooms. There is so much good he could have done in the US and in the world.
As the most powerful man in the world he could have done something about this slavery. At the very least he could have shined the light of public attention on it. Instead we heard nothing from him.
But as a crypto-muslim, Barry didn’t want to insult Mohammed, who practiced slavery.
Pretty soon the Spanish will be discovering the New World opening a new market for this trade.
This is what progress looks like in most of the rest of the world outside the United States.
Coming soon to Europe.
Hardly surprising, the early Arab Muslims always saw blacks as inferior to their race, even before they had conquered nearly half of Africa’s continent and sold them as slaves:

done prince harry too
Gee, and they told us Qaddafi was bad. Who would have saw this coming? Tell me again, why did Obama and Clinton want him killed? This ought to be a plus for their legacy. Why isn’t the main stream media reporting on this? It has to do with African migrants after all. Oh, that’s right, now I remember. love it.
“It’s the year 2018 — and yet Africans are being sold as slaves at an auction in Libya by Arabs.
Unbelievable. Horrific.”
Not the least bit surprising though.
Knowing that these invaders do in Europe, I feel not pity for what they came across on their way to Europe.
Next Whoopi Goldberg statement.
We have to respect Libya.
Some things have never changed???
Hillary, Obama, and a bunch of others really need to develop a trembling terror of the Lord.
Let BLM handle this one.
BTW, you black african people do have a choice, don’t you, you could PERvert to pisslam can’t you? I mean this is the religion of peace, they will allow you to PERvert or they will peacefully kill you, won’t they? No long drawn out trial, human rights debate, courts of appeals, they’ll just quickly, quietly, and peacefully cut off your head. But we can’t expect you to just give in like that. Not when we see how your amercan brothers kill cops and each other by the hundreds in Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, and your public protests are to be applauded. So put in a quick call to that jew-hating POS hungarian jew, Soros, and he’ll fund a BLM detachment to protest for you here in the US.
Obama caused it and the black NFL players don’t seem to mind it they only hate America! Black Lies Matter.
I wonder how long it will be before this crop of negro slaves and negro slave traders blames their actions on white folks in Europe and the USA? I’m sure President Barry Chump-Change Soetoro will lead all the efforts to do so.
All one has to do is look to history and they will find that Arabs have been slave traders of black Africans from East Africa is one of the oldest slave trades, predating the European transatlantic slave trade by 700 years, beginning around 650 A.D. The Arab slave trade in the Indian Ocean, Red, and Mediterranean Seas long pre-dated the arrival of any significant number of Europeans on the African continent. Male slaves who were often made eunuchs were employed as servants, soldiers, or laborers by their owners, while female slaves, were long traded to the Middle Eastern countries and kingdoms by Arab traders, as concubines and servants. The Arab country of Mauritania did not outlaw slavery until 1981 making the use of Arab names by African-Americans so very ridiculous The adoption of Arabic names to replace European names in the U.S. is used as a rejection of names associated with their own ancestors’ personal experience with European slavery. To bad that slavery of blacks began long before “European” slavery and exist to this date with the exploitation of African blacks by the Arab world.
True, and North Africa was originally Christian before it was Muslim.
Mauritania outlawed slavery in the same way Eurapia has outlawed antisemitism, namely not at all.
Those slave markets can also be found in Syria and Iraq. The other slave markets are online somewhere in the Internet, particularly in the so called dark net.
And of course, those markets are managed and implemented by Muslims as they did right after they were founded. Before that by the Arabs.
So, this not new, old ancient news. It’s ignorance of what’s going on in the world, especially the barbarism going on in Africa and Middle East and the whole thing now is imported into Europe.
You see there the animal brothels, where mainly Arab am Muslim customers visiting, having their way with goats and sheep, and then there are the fist signs of the slave markets, where parents sell their daughters.
About time someone gets some work out of them.
2018. Human slavery. Only in Islam. Nothing else to say.
If the Democrats bought slaves in Libya and imported them in the US and freed the slaves here, would the liberated slaves automatically be able to vote according to the Constitution.
Where is Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, BLM, New Black Panthers and the rest of the rabble rousers? Why aren’t they over there protesting this? They are protesting here over something that happened 150 years ago but they are too chickenshit to protest current slavery. Black lives matter, but only in America? Phonies!
What everyone seems to miss about this is that this isn’t exactly breaking news. Things were much worst under Gaddafi when immigrant exploitation was government run and the Gaddafi regime held slave auctions in Kufra 3 times a week. http://claysbeach.blogspot.com/2018/05/extreme-racism-slave-auctions-3-times_20.html
