Libyan rebels cage black Africans in zoo, force feed them flags

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

A shocking video has appeared on the Internet showing Libyan rebels torturing a group of black Africans. People with their hands bound are shown being locked in a zoo-like cage and allegedly forced to eat the old Libyan flag.

“Eat the flag, you dog. Patience you dog, patience. God is Great,” screams a voice off-camera in the video uploaded to YouTube last week, which also made its way onto LiveLeak.com.

The torturers are also shown making the group of captive black Africans stand up with pieces of green cloth still in their mouths and apparently forcing them start jumping.

A number of people are shown standing outside the cage watching the atrocity.

After Muammar Gaddafi was killed, hundreds of migrant workers from neighboring states were imprisoned by fighters allied to the new interim authorities.

They accuse the black Africans of having been mercenaries for the late ruler.

In the course of the fighting to topple Gaddafi last year, sub-Saharan African migrants and refugees “became targets of stigma, discrimination and violence,” the human rights group Amnesty International said last month.

“At the beginning of the crisis, there was vastly exaggerated propaganda for which the highest level of the National Transitional Council should take some responsibility because they largely contributed to that unfounded propaganda,” said Donatella Rovera, Amnesty’s senior crisis response advisor.

Some of the black migrants managed to flee into neighboring Mali and Niger, but more than 5,000 were detained. They face mass execution, beatings, and revenge killings, according to an Al Jazeera report published back in September.

Before the Libyan uprising broke out, the country hosted about a million black African workers, many of them employed in domestic work, construction, trash collection and other low-wage jobs.

Human Rights Investigations (HRI) suspect Libyan rebels of ethnic cleansing of the black population of the country, particularly in the city of Tawergha.

Disgusting

[Coofle]

Where Is Aljazeera About this....??????? and the discrimination in Arab countries?????

[Johnny B]

Nothing is so disgusting about it, if you really think about it.

An Arab screaming " allahul Akbar" behaving just like an Arab.

My Guru,

As much as i want to sympathize with your stance of " I am Black and Muslim ", i can not deny the Arab man screaming "Allahul Akbar" his religion, as much as i wish it was yours and he was the one borrowing it in this particular case, so blame me for standing helpless against the grim reality of the situation.

 

And I hereby accept being the polisher of the brass-tacks of some churches if it ever seethes your painful identity crisis , as you deeply struggle with the difficulties of whom to identify with in this particular clip.

Only you my guru can be both the Arab man holding the whip, screaming "allahul Akbar" , and the helpless black man in the cage at the same time. :cool:

[Jacpher]

Nuune had it right all along. These rebels are the worst of the worst.

^ Having given you the right to pick and choose the bigoted and misguided Arabs from the non sectarians,I in my charitable mood could not find the argument that separates Arabs from Islam more than a lingual thriftiness, which leaves me with a mental illusory where a Yank tells a Brit to speak English and a Somali tells an Arab to be Islamic.

 

Sure my Guru, Only i should know the lengths you go to defend Islam, hence my acceptance of polishing the brass-tacks of the Church , despite my Agnostic/atheistic firm stance.
