ONCE YOU START THE IMMIGRATION FLOOD GOING, THINGS GET UGLY ALL OVER: Angry about the slave trade in Libya? Spare some anger for Europe.

While Libya has been known for horrific abuses in its migrant detention centers, Europe has a large role to play in the horrific conditions that have led to black Africans being sold like livestock in Libya. A new report by Amnesty International says that European governments have been “knowingly complicit in the torture and abuses of tens of thousands of refugees and migrants detained by Libyan immigration authorities …by actively supporting the Libyan authorities in stopping sea crossings and containing people in Libya.” The report, called “Libya’s Dark Web of Collusion,” says that “the use of aid, trade, and other leverage to push transit countries, including some where widespread and systematic human rights violations against refugees and migrants has been documented, to implement stricter border control measures … risks trapping [them] in countries where they are exposed to serious human rights violations.” Italy and other member states have been supporting the Libyan coast guard to return migrants.

When it comes to Libyan attitudes toward other Africans, the report says that there is a “general acquiescence about detaining sub-Saharan Africans as a means of deterrence”; an unnamed Libyan official said off the record that the migrants and refugees “cannot be left to roam freely, and they will swarm the country.”

Hillary’s unauthorized war against Khadafy, plus Angela Merkel’s open-door policy, produced human tragedy. As virtue-signaling often does.
