Libyan rebels round up blacks, put them in prison camps

NATO-backed Libyan rebels are rounding up thousands of innocent black migrants and taking them to prison camps as part of mass reprisals that include reports of indiscriminate killings, mistreatment and torture, as the “humanitarian” veneer of the west’s military intervention quickly crumbles.

Migrant blacks and sub-Saharan Africans comprise one third of the entire Libyan population, and a minority were hired by Gaddafi as mercenary fighters, but rebels are treating them all as enemy combatants, with reports of abuse, murders and mass arrests increasing in volume.

    Remember this, not everyone that post here is Dominican…food for thought…the CIA is constantly monitoring these stories and don’t think for one minute that this is a “Dominica” website, anyone can post here, people. Most of you who post here were cheering on the West and their thuggish brethren when they were bullying Libya. So this is what is has come to and now you all seeing the Western propaganda at its best, or worst – your pick. Freaking wake up and smell the cocoa tea. NEO colonialism is here and this time they are not taking us away from Africa and leave some behind, they are attempting to TAKE THE ENTIRE CONTINENT! And we will be left with nothing but a few little islands, which can be destroyed at a moments notice. We have a Continent and prefer to settle for an island? SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on us (Africans that were stolen and taken abroad to be slaves). Don’t forget, Slaves were not taken out of Africa, Africans were taken out of Africa and turns into slaves. :twisted:

    Gadhafi was pro black that’s why they’re attacking black people in Libyan Africa after his death. He was the only leader that supported Nelson Mandela in South African during Apartheid. He also supported the African struggle in Zimbabwe and Angola FYI there were a number of PAST Dominican political leaders that had ties with him.

    It just goes to show that the real devils in the world today are the likes of Obama, Sarkozy, Cameron, George Bush, Tony Blair and the Zionists in Israel. These so called world leaders who would not beat an eye-lid to release their weapons of mass destruction on defenceless nations, mass murder their people and plunder their resources are the ones who hold power in the world right now. The Iranians, Russians and Chinese should be well advised to stock-pile their own weapons to counter the threat posed by these evil guys. They manipulate the media to demonise nations whose resources they wish to plunder and use the United Nations as a tool to legitimise their evil intentions and even convince people in poor nations like ours to support their actions.
    If ever a lesson should be learned, Libya is a good example. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

    Lots of Libyans are black. Not just migrants. ‘Some’ migrants were mercenaries …. mots were not.

    It sickens me to see these people (the rebels) ‘liberating’ their country like this.

    The Chinese had deals with Gadafi and Sirte was the biggest producer of oil … that was why there was so much NATO bombing there. The rebels are counting the millions of US dollars to be grabbed for selling their country’s assets.

    The pro Gadafi fighters in Sirte should have had medals given to them for bravery. I know to the rebels they were on the wrong side … but months they held out against a one sided barrage of NATO bombings. A wise and forward looking leadership would offer these things and look to end suffering.

    Sad very sad.

      Because there is no heaven or hell, god or devil. Its just a manifestation of human sides. Both good and evil..

    • NatureBoy
      October 30, 2011

      Joe, you don’t sound antichrist. This is a reasonable question, because the Supreme, God Almighy, DOES allow the Devil to exercise control – 1John 5:19 – but the good news is – only for a limited time.

      This is in order to settle universal issues raised by the Devil in the garden of Eden when he got Adam and Eve to rebel against God.Issues of whether man’s rulership under Satan’s control is better than God’s rulership.

      Jehovah God is allowing time for Satan to try to prove his claims, supported by the majority of humans, and the result is all the bad news we see and hear today – as described at Ecclesiastes 8:9 – “..man has dominated man to his injury.”.

      Satan’s time for control is almost up – Rev. 12:12. We are in the last days of this wicked system, as all the increasing lawlessness shows – 2Tim.3:1-5.

      Soon God will destroy Satan and all who prove to be on Satan’s side of the issue. But those who do God’s will, thus proving that they want God as their ruler, will live forever in paradise on earth.
      You can be part of that. John 17:3

    This is what has been going over there since the UN NATO troops arrived to drive out Gaddafi. They have targeted the black Libyans and killed as many as possible.
    So those of you that thought that living under Gaddafi was bad really need to get the correct information and rethink the whole thing. Things will never be as good as they were for the people of Libya while Gaddafi was at its head and we all know that Gaddafi wasn’t perfect.

    DNO i’m happy y’all are carrying these stories now but they’ve been out there since early in the war..

    i’ve been posting about this repeatedly for months. The rebels fighters were no innocent ‘unarmed civilians.’ They were the violent, racist, religious fanatic element of Libyan society. Gadhafi kept them in line (albeit with an iron fist)

    NATO has unleashed them on the pro-Gadhafi civilian population and on the African immigrants in Libya.

    When will some people open their eyes to the truth??

    after all these arab people has done to black people for a long time,started the first slave trading with the white monsters,they are now bringing it to light,how they really see black people,and we have some clowns on facebook in support of gaddafi,oh how gaddafi intentions was to unite africa,at what course,what was their real intentions,what did they stand to benefit,man the arab world and the whites has and still have an ongoing conspiracy to exploit black people,gaddafi used his oil money to try and control black africa,to keep them in the dark,while they and white people economically continue to drain africa,but nato which is the white race technical arm figured out gaddafis plan,so dog eat dog,but i still blame black africa,africa should have united under selasie,africa would have been another superpower with one central government, with addis abba as the central governing body,not some jolt like gaddafi self proclaiming to be king of kings of africa,this man had the nerve,now he has put our people in harms way with their sadistic ambitions.

    Because Dominicans allow foreigners to take over their country you think Libyans will tolerate foreigners coming to Libya to help control Libyans. Some people take pride in their country and defend it from foreigners. These Africans helped Gaddafi to oppress the people of Libya – they tortured and killed Libyans! Venezuela and China can control Dominica because you all hungry for handouts but Libya does not need outsiders it is one of the wealthiest African countries.

    Typically in these countries, folks like Khadafi, Mubarak, Saddam and the other “dictators” are what it takes to keep much more dangerous elements from these societies from surfacing. It’s typically the lesser of two evils. So when westerners, in our naivety, decide to get rid of them or assist so-called friendly rebels in toppling them… we are sometimes letting the genie out the bottle.
    Democracy is not an ideal most of these middle-eastern societies crave. So, for us to rid them of the stabilizing madmen hoping to replace them with more repressive madmen disguised as “freedom fighters” is a recipe for disaster. These societies still operate based on tribal regions and one is always pitted against the other. Neither is satisfed having the other at the table – it’s all or nothing. Not to mention, when the repressed is no more repressed and become the darling “freedom fighters” we think they are, then we really discover why they we repressed in the first place (not always, but many times) – and to our demise, they are not what we expect. Hence, the rebels, starting to revenge the blood these black foreigners took – under Khadafi’s hand. It’s really unfortunate… I’m glad in a way Obama didn’t lead this whole thing in Libya, but he’s got a mess on his hands – if they keep on this tortuous rampage…
