L’inferno dei migranti: cosa succede ai rifugiati in Libia
Quando le porte del deserto libico si aprono, si attraversa una linea invisibile nel Sahara. La sabbia del Niger sfuma nella sabbia della Libia, oltre una frontiera tanto arbitraria quanto invisibile agli occhi dei migranti stipati nei cassoni dei pick up 4×4. Il viaggio è stato duro ma nulla sarà duro come quello che li attende. Perché la Libia è l’inferno dei migranti.

Libya’s Migrant Economy Is a Modern Day Slave Market
For migrants from sub-Sahran Africa, Libya was a destination even before Muammar Qaddafi fell in 2011, and the country turned itself in a boat launch to Europe. The dictator fancied himself as a munificent overseer of the continent below. When liberation struggles were underway against colonial masters, Qaddafi sent guns and money, and when the newly independent nations set out to organize themselves as a bloc, he not only helped fund the African Union, but proposed an even more ambitious configuration, The United States of Africa. It never went anywhere, not least because the dictator was, of course, more Arab than African. (The north African expanse of the Mahgreb, which includes Libya, is part of Africa on the maps, but separated from the sub-Saharan African region where migrants hail from by both desert and culture.)
