Libya: Black Africans Are Terrorized & Slaughtered, and The World Is Silent

Isn’t NATO which is intending to continue Libya mission ‘to protect civilians’ obliged to protect all civilians, including dark-skinned people?

Black Africans have been slaughtered in the thousands since the beginning of the civil war in Libya. First, the rebels branded these unarmed and harmless migrant workers as “Gaddafi’s mercenaries” and mass-murdered them; then Gaddafi’s loyalists identified them with the rebels and massacred them as they attempted to flee across the borders.

This intentional and carefully planned atrocity is continuing to this day, and all parts who are supporting the rebels, including NATO member states, are turning a blind eye to the targeting of black-skinned Africans.

In the mean time, the chairman of the African Union says Libyan rebels may be indiscriminately killing black people in Libya because they have confused innocent migrant workers with mercenaries.

Chairman Jean Ping told reporters Monday that this is one of the reasons the AU is refusing to recognize Libya’s rebel Transitional National Council as the country’s interim government.

He said “We need clarification because the TNC seems to confuse black people with mercenaries …. They are killing normal workers.”

Ping also said there was no doubt now the council controlled the capital city of Tripoli and called on both sides to “stop the killing.”

The Saga Of Ethiopian Maids

Domestic workers, the majority of whom are women, constitute a very large portion of today’s migrant worker population.

Domestic work is the single most important category of employment among women migrants to the gulf states, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Lebanon. 40  60 % of the population in the Arab states of the Gulf region has a foreign background.

The majority of female migrants come from Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Indonesia, the Philippines.

Driven by poverty and conflict in their home countries, women from these countries travel to the Arab states only to find themselves hungry, abused, raped and subjected to conditions akin to slavery.

There are too many stories about ill-treatment and not paying full wages. Most maids, if being paid on time, earn about $100 a month; the minimum wage, for instance, for Kuwaitis is $900 a month. Frankly speaking, there are few stories more tragic than the plight of foreign maids in Arab countries. Those familiar with their circumstances know how much they suffer under cruel employers, so much so that many choose to take their own lives.

Thousands of young Ethiopian women are being enticed to the Middle East and gulf Arab states with the promise of work  only to suffer verbal, physical and sexual abuse.

Many of these young women are locked in the house where they work at all times and never given any freedom.

Many suffer ‘mental torture’ telling horror stories. The abuse in the Middle East goes beyond just physical, employed in back-breaking jobs for up to 18 hours a day,  girls also have to perform sexual favours,  frequently  raped.

Suicide cases are not rare. Girls are only allowed to return home by their employers when their contract ends or when they fail to give any service due to sickness or disability.

Many of these young girls return to Ethiopia partially paralysed, insane, with broken backs and legs, in some cases, burned with acid.

According to the US official ranking, states like Bahrain, Kuwait, Iran, Lebanon, Malaysia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria and Qatar  as among the worst human trade offenders.

God will see all your sufferings — and the days of those wicked  and evil barbarians are numbered. Oppressors, are always subject to continual terror, live very uncomfortably, and perish very miserably
