People for sale. Where lives are auctioned for $400

[DESERT FIGHTER]

It was a dream country for everybody except fooled by West "regime-fighters". I know that nurses from Ukraine went to Lybia and earned more than 1000 dollars on the hands with all living costs paid by state - and it was clean and absolutely safe place(in Ukraine nurses had 150 dollars at the time). I know many figures about the state that existed in its time - but who cares? It is history now, I bet people living there hardly believe 6 years ago they had social garanties, police, medical care and so on. Now they are living near pre-historic slave markets - and Western human rights fighters do not care.

Thousands of Pak doctors, engineers and labourers worked in Gaddafi's Libya too.

Luckily, international geopolitics is utterly non-emotional. Gaddafi paid the price for his disastrous foreign policies and the population of Libya is still paying the price. The use of state-sponsored terrorism can go only so far, and at least Gaddafi won't be doing that any more. Others should learn this lesson too.

It is only his exuberant Islamicism that makes some misguided people admire him. There is also the factor that it is in political fashion nowadays to denigrate the US, rather than trying to understand that a particular political faction is responsible.

One must remain unemotional when looking at international geopolitical issues such as this, despite an incredible toll in human suffering. Rationality does not mean a lack of empathy on the analyst's part, which is another thing people quite forget during impassioned discussions.

Very thought-provoking. And without much thought about it, instinctively appealing.

"Does anybody need a digger? This is a digger, a big strong man, he'll dig,"

their future looks neon bright on Craigslist, those strong "diggers" got tons of diggers waiting for them there.

 

[fitpOsitive]

Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- "Eight hundred," says the auctioneer. "900 ... 1,000 ... 1,100 ..." Sold. For 1,200 Libyan dinars -- the equivalent of $800.

Not a used car, a piece of land, or an item of furniture. Not "merchandise" at all, but two human beings.
One of the unidentified men being sold in the grainy cell phone video obtained by CNN is Nigerian. He appears to be in his twenties and is wearing a pale shirt and sweatpants.
He has been offered up for sale as one of a group of "big strong boys for farm work," according to the auctioneer, who remains off camera. Only his hand -- resting proprietorially on the man's shoulder -- is visible in the brief clip.
After seeing footage of this slave auction, CNN worked to verify its authenticity and traveled to Libya to investigate further.
Carrying concealed cameras into a property outside the capital of Tripoli last month, we witness a dozen people go "under the hammer" in the space of six or seven minutes.
"Does anybody need a digger? This is a digger, a big strong man, he'll dig," the salesman, dressed in camouflage gear, says. "What am I bid, what am I bid?"
Buyers raise their hands as the price rises, "500, 550, 600, 650 ..." Within minutes it is all over and the men, utterly resigned to their fate, are being handed over to their new "masters."

Liberated = Destroyed.
Libya, Iraq and Syria are now Liberated. Now they want to liberate Pakistan and Iran too.

Hey @Mugwop I find it amazing that post #2 has been allowed to slide uncleaned up for days now. I have been waiting to see who would speak up and so far none have. What does that say about racial attitudes.

Hey, anything to make Murrika look bad is allowed.

Actually you missed it. It makes Russians look bad. Specifically the poster.

LOL. Look at our titles and the Russian's. If we say something similar, we would be banned.

I am not a fan of that word nor does it increase one's street credibility but African Americans use that word more than anyone to address each other. That is their argument. There was a time i would have been offended by it but now frankly I don't even care. The concept of slavery never did diminished in the middle east that's what makes me sad.

Well African-Americans haven’t been elected as the spokespeople for Africans so what they think may be immaterial. But on the topic of slavery and how it relates to the Americas..it seems it was stopped here long ago but it remains alive and well in Africa.

This contradicts controversial theories that African slavery was only created to satisfy a cheap workforce in the Americas. Modern day slavery makes it sound like it was something that had been going on for centuries.

Please feel free to offer your own suggestion on why he is still so popular with a wide section of people, and why his overthrow raises such sympathy and pity. There's no monopoly.
