UN Africans seeking to get into Europe via Libya are being turned into Kebab and eaten

A former member of the Nigerian government has claimed his countrymen are being "captured, mutilated and cooked like kebabs" by slave traders in Libya.

Ex-culture minister Femi Fani-Kayode lamented the plight of sub-Saharan Africans who arrive on the Mediterranean coast dreaming of a new life in Europe only to be forced into slavery.

In April, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) warned migrants were being sold at public slave markets in the country.

It said at least 20,000 migrants are held by criminal gangs in detention centres in Libya.

Cambridge educated Fani-Kayode said that three quarters of the people detained by criminal gangs in the region had come from southern Nigeria.

He wrote: "75% of those sold into slavery in Libya who have their organs harvested, bodies mutilated and who are roasted like suya [an African kebab] are from southern Nigeria.

"Roasted alive! This is what Libyans do to sub-saharan Africans who are looking for a transit point to Europe. They sell them into slavery and either murder, mutilate, torture or work them to death."

The lawyer also criticised Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari for not doing enough to protect the victims, claiming that this was due to a tribal bias: "They are not Fulani herdsmen," he wrote.

Fani-Kayode also bemoaned the fact that Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown, creating a power vacuum that has allowed organised criminals to thrive in contemporary Libya

"The greatest calamity that befell Africa in the last 20 years was the murder of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya," he said. "The second was the coming to power of Muhammadu Buhari in Nigeria."

An undercover operation recently revealed that men were being sold at slave markets for as little as £300 ($400).

According to CNN, slave sales are conducted on the outskirts of the nation's capital Tripoli, where auctions take place for various types of manual labourers. One video shows the sale of "big strong boys for farm work".

An auctioneer was heard asking a crowd: "Does anybody need a digger? This is a digger, a big, strong man, he'll dig."

You know, with a few changes this is actually pretty solid operation.

Get a big boat, cash in money to take people to "Europe", cram as many below the deck as possible, go to Arabia and sell them as slaves there. You make a profit on both ends.
No need to detention camps, if done right, these guys would pay rent until their number is up and they can board the ship.

While I think that this is a horrible fate, Europe doesn't need any more rapefugees. Sorry. They're full. Try to make your own country work instead of ruining the countries of others. I get that many of them can't find jobs in their home countries and some are not bad people. But their local economic woes are not Europe's problem. African nations need to work on fixing their own issues. The western world can't house every third world poor out there. This is why Sweden is what it is now.

According to this article by a survivor from Cameroon, Nigerians are actually running the camps and torturing and killing their own people. Ghanaians are also running the camps. Both men and women are being raped. A woman telling her story was only spared because she was pregnant. Truly horrific. The women were trying to hide young girls between their huddled bodies so they wouldn't be raped.

The new slave trade-human trafficking in Libya is being carried out by many nationalities, including Nigerians and Ghanaians, according to a Cameroonian returnee, who was abducted in the country. Foka Fotsi, who was trafficked twice, told Reuters that those in charge of one of the places where he was held included Ghanaians and Nigerians. Fotsi story corroborated another testimony by a Nigerian in the southern state of Edo, who identified one Charles, a Nigerian as the trafficking kingpin.

Unable to find work to support his family, Fotsi decided to leave Cameroon last year, but fell into the hands of a Libyan kidnap ring before reaching Europe. “There was torture like I’ve never seen. They hit you with wooden bats, with iron bars,” he said, removing the hood of his sweatshirt and showing the still raw red wounds on his skull. “They hang you from the ceiling by (your) arms and legs and then throw you down to the floor. They swing you and throw you against the wall, over and over again, ten times. “They are not human beings. They are the devil personified.” Christelle Timdi, another Cameroonian recounted her horrendous experience in the north African country. When uniformed men boarded the overloaded rubber dingy carrying her and her boyfriend to a new life in Europe, she thought the Italian coastguard had come to rescue them.

ut the men took out guns and began to shoot. “Many people fell in the sea,” the 32-year-old Cameroonian said as she described seeing her boyfriend, Douglas, falling in the water and disappearing into the darkness. The gunmen took Timdi and her fellow passengers back to Libya where they were locked up, raped, beaten and forced to make calls to their families back home for ransom payments to secure their freedom. Timdi, who flew back to Cameroon last week, told her story as international outcry escalated over a video which appeared to show African migrants being traded as slaves in Libya. Libya’s U.N.-backed government has said it is investigating and has promised to bring the perpetrators to justice. Timdi said she had not seen the footage broadcast by CNN, but had witnessed the trade in humans while in Libya. “I saw it with my own eyes,” she said, describing how she had seen a Senegalese man buying an African migrant. Libya is the main jumping off point for migrants trying to reach Europe by boat. Timdi said many traffickers posed as marine guards, police officers and taxi drivers to ensnare victims. There were around 130 other migrants on her boat when the gunmen opened fire in the middle of the night, Timdi said. After being taken back to Libya they were locked in an abandoned factory building where men would grab and rape the girls and women – and sometimes even the men.

“We tried to hide the younger girls among us,” Timdi said, describing the terrifying moments when the guards would scour the room with torches, searching for their next victims. “I was heavily pregnant – that’s why I wasn’t raped. And it’s all done in front of others – they say it’s so that you know what will happen to you if you don’t pay up.” Timdi said the facilities used by traffickers appeared to be well organised and guarded, adding that most people inside wore fake police or military uniforms. “The place was surrounded by army-style vehicles with guns ready to fire, so we didn’t dare try and escape.” Timdi’s family paid 1 million CFA francs ($1,800), frantically collected from relatives and friends, to free her. But she said ransoms were no guarantee of safety. The traffickers work with a network of taxi drivers who are supposed to transfer released migrants to migrant camps – but who often re-traffick them, Timdi said. “If they send you a good taxi, you’ll arrive at your destination, but if it’s a bad taxi the driver will sell you on to someone else,” she said. “There are people who have been resold twice, three times. And when you call your family to tell them that you’ve been resold once again, no one will believe you, they won’t send more money to free you.” Timdi was released by her captors in October and gave birth to a baby girl, Brittanie, in a Libyan hospital just days later. Timdi and Fotsi were among 250 Cameroonians who were flown home this week by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) as part of a voluntary return scheme for migrants stranded in Libya. The programme, funded by the European Union, provided returnees with clothing and medical checks. The most vulnerable, including pregnant women, also received around 400 euros ($475). IOM Cameroon head Boubacar Saybou said it was launching a programme to help migrants set up businesses, and will also provide start-up funding. “We need to create opportunities for them here. That’s what’s important,” he said. Fotsi said he hoped to follow up on the scheme. But for now his most pressing problem was finding a place to sleep.

“I pray that God gives me work that I can do here,” he said.

“If we don’t get work you’ll find many of us walking the streets again.”
