Libyan Rebels Are The Worst War Criminals Ever. by Bliss4Lyfe(f): 8:14am On Aug 29, 2011 |
Libyan rebels are the worst war criminals ever. They kill every Black Africans they come into contact with during their rampage of the country and call them mercenaries. African girls and women are known to be rap.ed by these rebels. Are they also mercenaries that they should be used as concubines? So many Nigerians and other Black Africans unable to evacuate have really suffered torture and death at the hands of these Nato backed Rebels. We are waiting to see exactly wat good comes out of this White-man escapade for windfall mineral resources profit. ![]() http://punchng.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art20110901132193 http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/09/07/2395392/african-women-say-rebels-violated.html#ixzz1XKRCI8Fl |

It is an unfair world. I have never heard of two groups fighting be it libya or Nigeria and a supposedly neutral party like NATO focuses on bombing one group wihile the fighting between both groups continue. Sad wat people do for mineral resources. ![]() |

JANZOUR, Libya -- When the sun sets on the refugee camp for black Africans that has sprung up at the marina in this town six miles west of Tripoli, the women here brace for the worst. The rebels who ring the camp suddenly open fire. Then they race into the camp, shouting "gabbour, gabbour" - Arabic for LovePeddler - and haul away young women, residents say. "You should be here in the evening, when they come in firing their guns and taking people," one woman from Nigeria said Wednesday as she recounted the nightly raids on the camp. "They don't use condoms, they use whatever they can find," she said, pointing to a discarded plastic bag in a pile of trash. As she spoke, other women standing nearby nodded in agreement. There is no way to know how many women have been violated here, where hundreds of Africans have settled in and around the boats of a marina. No one keeps statistics in the camp, and foreign aid workers say they are prohibited from discussing the allegations on the record. International Red Cross representatives say only that they have spoken to rebel leaders about "security concerns." But the story that women tell is part of a larger picture of abuse of black Africans in Libya that is emerging in the wake of the rebel victory, born of allegations that deposed strongman Moammar Gadhafi often hired sub-Saharan Africans to fight for him. Hundreds of black Africans have been swept up and are being held in makeshift prisons awaiting some sort of judicial finding of whether they were mercenaries or not. Thousands more are trapped in refugee camps. They can't leave the camps, they say, for fear they'll be targeted on the streets. They do not feel safe inside the camps, either. Human rights advocates have decried what appears to be mistreatment of black African workers, and U.S. Ambassador Gene Cretz, speaking in Washington on Wednesday, admitted it's a growing problem. "We've seen fairly credible reports that there has been some mistreatment of African migrants," Cretz told McClatchy. He said the U.S. was trying to work with rebel leaders to prevent abuse, which he blamed on young rebels who are confusing Africans who might have fought as mercenaries for Gadhafi with the hundreds of thousands of sub-Saharan Africans who were working in Libya when the rebels took over. "We don't think it's a systematic or intentional problem on the part of the Libyan authorities," Cretz said. "It's something that's happening at levels below that, which is of considerable concern to us." Cretz said the rebels' National Transitional Council is working with the United Nations and other international relief organizations to ease the situation. There was little evidence of such efforts at the marina here, however. At the nearby headquarters of the revolutionary forces in the area, Mohammed Abdullah Fatouri, the head of the military council, said that he was unaware of any problems in the camp. "Have them bring a letter," he said. "If they tell us this is happening, we will protect them." At the camp itself, fear is pervasive. When a car bearing two armed rebels drove into the camp, men and women scattered. It was not clear what the rebels wanted. Someone said they were looking for laborers. Perhaps emboldened by a pair of European TV camera crews, however, some of the camp's residents confronted the rebels. An older man, apparently the translator for one of the European TV crews, intervened, and after a few minutes, the militiamen got back in the car and drove off. http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/09/07/2395392/african-women-say-rebels-violated.html#ixzz1XKRCI8Fl |

^^ Very SAD!! ![]() http://punchng.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art20110901132193 Reports out of Libya say that rebels of the National Transition Council are killing black Africans Daily Telegraph reports that the victims include Nigerians, black Libyans and other citizens of sub-Saharan African. It was said that no fewer than 20 black men were found dead outside Col Gaddafi’s compound after Libyan rebels captured Tripoli. Their hands were tied behind their backs and some of them had been shot in the head. On the road south out of Tripoli, about 200 black people were also said to be hiding in a small encampment made of two small outbuildings shielded by a small wall and a metal door. Most of them were also Nigerians, some were Ghanaian. Amnesty International said it was told that between one third and half of those detained were from sub-Saharan Africa. “An Amnesty International delegation visiting the Central Tripoli Hospital witnessed three Thuwwar revolutionaries, as the opposition fighters are commonly known, dragging a black patient from the western town of Tawargha from his bed and detaining him. “The Thuwwar said the man would be taken to Misrata for questioning. Two other black Libyans receiving treatment in the hospital for gunshot wounds were warned by the anti-Gaddafi forces that their turn was coming,” a statement by the group statement said. Sydney Morning Herald reports that the ousted Libyan leader employed nationals from different Africans nations as part of a special protection force. Scores of black men were arrested during the battle for the Col Gaddafi stronghold of Abu Salim in Tripoli. According to reports, some migrants were said to be stranded near a seaside resort, others had fled the city. However, Associated Press reports that the African Union Chairman, Jean Ping said the Libyan rebels may be indiscriminately killing black people because they have confused innocent migrant workers with mercenaries. ‘’The National Transitional Council seems to confuse black people with mercenaries,’’ Ping, said. He added that this could be a reason the African Union had not recognised the opposition forces as Libya’s interim government. “One third of the population is black. They are killing people, normal workers, mistreating them,’’ he said. However, Amnesty official, Claudio Cordone was quoted as saying: “We have to fear for what may be happening to detainees out of the sight of independent observers. Many risk reprisals as a result of allegations that Gaddafi forces used African mercenaries during the conflict. “Amnesty welcomed calls by the NTC for its supporters to treat captives with dignity and to avoid revenge attacks. But the council must do more to ensure that their fighters do not abuse detainees, especially the most vulnerable ones such as black Libyans and sub-Saharan Africans. Also Ping urged the new government should say something to condemn the killings. He said, ‘’We want to see a signal that the African workers will be evacuated.’’ Richard Sollom, deputy director of Physicians for Human Rights, who completed a fact-finding mission in Misrata in June also said, “Fighters engaging in abuses should be immediately removed from active duty, pending investigation. All crimes, no matter who committed them, should be investigated and those responsible brought to justice.” Sollom said his Boston group knew of about 500 Darfuris who are desperately trying to get out of Libya, adding, “They very much fear for their lives because of the colour of their skin.” |
