These videos arriving to us from the relatives of these victims being tortured in Libya poses many questions to our humanity and the slavery which black people still experience. Here David Yambio writes: “Why do European citizens not hold their governments accountable? Why do they not question the deals signed in their name, the pacts that condemn Black People to rot in Libya’s concentration camps, the billions funneled into the hands of traffickers masquerading as border patrols? Meloni, Von der Leyen, the policymakers in Brussels what price must they pay for these murders? For this sanctioned slaughter of Black bodies?”

Where are mothers in the western world? A child in the desert and a crime in plain sight. Not in a home. Not in a mother’s arms. But in the open desert alone. A traveler found him alone, barefoot, walking in the vast cruel Sahara. Somewhere between Libya and Chad. The child in this video did not commit a crime. His only sin is being born with black skin in the wrong place, at the wrong time—into a world that still calculates humanity based on passports, pigment, and profit. His only crime is being poor in a system designed to erase the poor. We do not know his name. But we know what put him there. His parents may have collapsed behind him—dehydrated, hunted, or disappeared during Libya’s latest mass expulsions of Black Africans. Perhaps they were arrested and thrown into the dark holes of Gharyan or Sikka. Or perhaps they were left to die, like so many others, in the no-man’s-land Europe pays to keep invisible. This child, perhaps no older than five, now represents the utter breakdown of every supposed moral pillar Libya and Europe claim to uphold. This is not an accident. It is a racial purge, institutionalized and funded by the same Europe that lectures the world on human rights.

They usually have no names and are not persons because they are commodities⚠️ But if you move that layer you will discover that each of them is person, has a family, is brother , a sister to a person in their society. What’s happening in Southern Libya is sickening. TO CONTINUE

Breaking News: Dozens kidnapped for Ransom in Kufra, Libya. Naima Jamal is among dozens of victims of Libya’s modern slave trade. Naima Jamal, a 20-year-old Ethiopian woman from Oromia, was abducted shortly after her arrival in Libya in May 2024. Since then, her family has been subjected to enormous demands from human traffickers, their calls laden with threats and cruelty, their ransom demands rise and shift with each passing week. The latest demand: $6,000 for her release. This morning, the traffickers sent a video of Naima being tortured. The footage, which her family received with horror, shows the unimaginable brutality of Libya’s trafficking networks. Naima is not alone. In another image sent alongside the video, over 50 other victims can be seen, their bodies and spirits shackled, awaiting to be auctioned like commodities in a market that has no place in humanity but thrives in Libya, a nation where the echoes of its ancient slave trade still roar loud and unbroken. “This is the reality of Libya today,” writes activist and survivor David Yambio in response to this atrocity. “It is not enough to call it chaotic or lawless; that would be too kind. Libya is a machine built to grind Black bodies into dust. The auctions today carry the same cold calculations as those centuries ago: a man reduced to the strength of his arms, a woman to the curve of her back, a child to the potential of their years.” Naima’s present situation is one of many. Libya has become a graveyard for Black migrants, a place where the dehumanization of Blackness is neither hidden nor condemned. Traffickers operate openly, fueled by impunity and the complicity of systems that turn a blind eye to this horror. And the world, Yambio reminds us, looks the other way: “Libya is Europe’s shadow, the unspoken truth of its migration policy—a hell constructed by Arab racism and fueled by European indifference. They call it border control, but it is cruelty dressed in bureaucracy.” The $6,000 ransom demanded for Naima is not just a price for her life; it is a price for the silence of a global community that allows this horror to happen to the black child. And yet, for many, this is not survival, it is a cycle of endless suffering. Naima’s fate, and that of the 50 other victims in Kufra, remains uncertain. Their cries are met with indifference by those who could intervene but choose not to. Meanwhile, their families are left to battle with the impossible, raising the funds demanded by traffickers or risking the loss of their loved ones forever. The world must confront the uncomfortable truth: the slave trade is alive and thriving in Libya. It thrives in the silence of nations, in the shadows of complicit systems, and in the unchecked racism that dehumanizes Black lives. Naima’s story, as Yambio writes, is not an anomaly, it is the legacy of a history that refuses to end. X1

THEY BEAT HIM DAILY, NO ONE HAS MOVED, HIS LIFE COST $10,000 IN CASH: Tesfay Hagos Alemayehu There are men whose names will never touch headlines not because they are unworthy, but because the world has chosen a hierarchy of whose pain is worth hearing, whose screams can be dismissed, whose body may be bartered. Tesfay Hagos Alemayehu is such a man. He was born on the 15th of March, 1994, in Hagere Selam, a town in the northern highlands of Ethiopia, Tesfay grew up as one of many→a son of soil, of war, of withered promises. But today, he is something else: a man stripped of dignity and caged in Kufra, Libya, where his Black skin is a currency in the economy of human trafficking. He was not searching for riches. He was not chasing dreams built on illusions. He fled Ethiopia because the land from which he emerged was bleeding→Tigray, a region devoured by war and starvation. And so he ran. As many do. As many must. But in this world, the Black man’s journey toward dignity is a crime punished before it is understood. We are often told that men must endure. That we must not weep. That we must clench our teeth through the breaking of our bones. And so, when Tesfay’s captors lash his body with black pipes, when they fasten his limbs into impossible knots and pin his skull to the cement floor with their boots, some may whisper→“he should have known better than to go to Libya.” This world, so fragile to the Black body, so hostile to Black men who dare to gamble their survival, still manages to judge them when they fall into the trap. For nearly a month now, Tesfay has been held in Kufra, tortured daily. Beaten until blood replaces sweat, denied food, deprived of water. And for what? A $10,000 ransom demanded by his captors, criminal Libyans, backed by transnational rings of Ethiopian and Eritrean traffickers. In the videos, men who speak in Arabic, flog with metal rods, and press his head into the dirt while the camera rolls. The videos sent to his family are not threats; they are proof of cruelty so normalized it now functions as a business model. In these images, Tesfay appears bound, shirtless, bruised, shaved bald and bleeding. And where is the state? Ethiopia? Libya? The international community? Twice, not once, but twice Tesfay’s family knocked on the doors of the local police in Ethiopia, bearing the unbearable news that their son had been kidnapped, held for ransom in Libya, and tortured daily. Twice, the police turned them away. Twice they were told, in unambiguous tones, “There is nothing we can do. Every day people are trafficked to Libya.” This is not ignorance, it is the institutional shrug of Black suffering. The state tasked with protecting its citizens has chosen not even to file a report. Not even to issue a slip of paper that might have enabled us→Refugees in Libya→to trigger Interpol protocols. When a government refuses to document its citizens’ disappearance, it is not just abandoning them→it is erasing them, but how can it erase us from its conscience?. Tesfay is bleeding, and the Ethiopian police cannot even find ink to write his name. 1/2
