Migrants from West Africa are being openly traded in "public slave markets" across Libya.
As a departure point for refugees trying to get to Europe,
migrants arriving in Libya from sub-Saharan Africa are particularly vulnerable due to a lack of money and little in the way of documentation.
Slavery returns to Africa: Migrants sold at open markets in Libya
The Arab slave trade was massive long before slaves were deported to North and
South America yet few are knowledgable about the Arab slave trade...especially the Negro militants in America who converted to Islam like that would be some sort of protest??? More like a submission to their former masters.

Let's not talk about slavery in Africa TODAY...let's talk about slavery in American 150 years ago. Oh the humanity!!!
Yes...and the only aspect of Slavery back then they want to talk about is the very humane(for the most part)that existed in the Great Southland.....never mention the much more extensive black slavery in S. America....where most of the slaves that were sent to the West wound up and it it was exceedingly cruel down there...yet not a peep from liberals about that....what it comes down to is that liberals are so saturated with white guilt the only folks they want to denigrate are their fellow whites ...as in whites are evil...all the colored folks are innocent, all the muslims are innocent...only Christians and Christianity should be attacked.
'For a long time it was widely assumed that southern slavery was harsher and crueler than slavery in Latin America, where the Catholic church insisted that slaves had a right to marry, to seek relief from a cruel master, and to purchase their freedom. Spanish and Portuguese colonists were thought to be less tainted by racial prejudice than North Americans and Latin American slavery was believed to be less subject to the pressures of a competitive capitalist economy.
In practice, neither the Church nor the courts offered much protection to Latin American slaves. Access to freedom was greater in Latin America, but in many cases masters freed sick, elderly, crippled, or simply unneeded slaves in order to relieve themselves of financial responsibilities.
Death rates among slaves in the Caribbean were one-third higher than in the South, and suicide appears to have been much more common. Unlike slaves in the South, West Indian slaves were expected to produce their own food in their “free time,” and care for the elderly and the infirm.
The largest difference between slavery in the South and in Latin America was demographic. The slave population in Brazil and the West Indies had a lower proportion of female slaves, a much lower birthrate, and a higher proportion of recent arrivals from Africa. In striking contrast, southern slaves had an equal sex ratio, a high birthrate, and a predominantly American-born population'.
