LIBYA: Rebels execute black immigrants
2011-03-28
Hat tip Sense of Events
While much of the world’s attention is focusing on crude oil prices and the Libyan pipelines in the east of the country– human right groups say rebels are committing crimes against humanity.

In east Libya, African hunt began as towns and cities began fall under the control of Libyan rebels, mobs and gangs. They started to detain, insult, rape and even executing black immigrants, students and refugees.

In the past two weeks, more than 100 Africans from various Sub-Sahara states are believed to have been killed by Libyan rebels and their supporters.
Somebody tell Rev. Wright

#9  We are all in the same leaky boat and you can be sure that somebody is going to stand up in the boat. The boat is going to tip, and when it does, some survive, some donÂ’t. Rev. Wright probably thinks his boat is pretty good, and prolly doesn't care for those with lesser boats.

#8  Well, this is the Somali press. And they may be influenced by Gadaffy.

The LA Times also had something on this:

The opposition's image has been stained by roundups of blacks from sub-Saharan Africa accused of being mercenaries. Since Sunday, rebel gunmen have been hunting what they claim are "sleeper cells" of former Kadafi operatives hiding in Benghazi.

Some detainees were put on display for a busload of journalists at the same prisons where Kadafi's security services once held and tortured dissidents. The irony seemed lost on opposition officials, who vowed to shoot or jail all remaining Kadafi loyalists.

#7  Unfortunately, as per AFRICAN + MUSLIM HISTORY, Milyuhns of black native Africans including black African Muslims fell victim to various abuses at the hands of their fellow Africans + fellow Muslims.

THE REALITY IS FAR DIFFERENT FROM THE IDEAL.

#6  Samuel Johnson: 'Among the calamities of war may be jointly numbered the diminution of the love of truth, by the falsehoods which interest dictates and credulity encourages.' (from The Idler, 1758)

The reality is - we don't know and are unlikely to know till, literally, the dust settles. That's part of the game of the Burg, to filter and sort it all out.

#5  Gorb,
I saw a story last week about the black immigrants being pushed out of eastern Libya. There was fear that they supported the mercenaries or had mercenary ties, but they were pushing them all out.

It should be on Rantburg from last week when I posted it and mentioned the ethnic cleansing.

#4  Well, this is the Somali press. And they may be influenced by Gadaffy.

The rebels may have gotten their hands on the mercenaries who have been sniping them.

Better yet, tell Louis Farrakhan.

#1  I do not support this so called Democratic Movement espoused by the Lame Stream Media.

I do not support this President, Gates or NATO in this war. The wheels have fallen off. Mankind is experiencing the darkest part of America's history. Obama the monster, having hijacked the super power of this nation is leading America into the same shame, dishonor through attrocities America is now supporting such as those attrocities committed by Japan, Germany and Itally fell into priot to and during during WWII.
