Migrants from West Africa are being openly traded in “public slave markets” across Libya.
As a departure point for refugees trying to get to Europe, migrants arriving in Libya from sub-Saharan Africa are particularly vulnerable due to a lack of money and little in the way of documentation.
Survivors have told the International Organization for Migration (IOM) how there are slave markets and private prisons all over Libya.
Mohammed Abdiker, IOM’s head of operation and emergencies, told The Guardian: “The situation is dire. The more IOM engages inside Libya, the more we learn that it is a vale of tears for all too many migrants.”
One survivor from Senegal spoke of how he was brought by smugglers across Niger in a bus to the southern Libyan city of Sabha, where he was due to risk a boat trip to Europe. When the middleman did not get his fee, the survivor was put up for sale along with other passengers.
He was taken to a prison where he worked without pay while the captors demanded 300,000 West African francs (about £380) before selling him on to a larger jail. Livia Manante, an IOM officer based in Niger, said migrants would be brought to a square where they were put up for sale.
Manante said: “IOM Italy has confirmed that this story is similar to many stories reported by migrants and collected at landing points in southern Italy, including the slave market reports.”

interesting comment, agree
Phooie on reparations for slavery how about reparations for the busneses and merchants of Baltimore and Ferguson who lost merchendise to mobs of uncivilized apes
@Bill:
The trading of black persons is being carried out by black persons. The same as it was back in history. Slavery could not have existed without persons selling their own people into slavery.
In Saudi Arabia they castrate them prior to sale. The Muslims have been the biggest slave traders in all history not only Blacks but children and women of all races. With the black market oil money drying up Isis has had to turn to human traffic. If you think this has not spread to Europe read about Rotterham. We just cant say anything that would be islamaphobic.
They just hold up their WELCOME REFUGEE signs high as their own cultures are wiped out. What is going on in Minneapolis and Dearborn?
