Ghanaians Die In Libya, Hundred More Stranded by AzontoGhost(m): 3:29am On Aug 10, 2014
Reports reaching Adom News indicate that scores of Ghanaians
are being killed by the day in Libya by rebels who
allegedly target black people in that country.
Some of the Ghanaians stranded in the conflict have
made several SOS calls to staff of Adom FM reporting
how their colleagues were being killed in bomb attacks
on vehicles carting mainly dark-skinned people.
According to them, several countries have come in and
evacuated their nationals but hundreds of Ghanaians
are stranded in military camps and other locations in
that country because their frantic calls for help have not
been heeded.
They are therefore pleading with President John Mahama
to send a rescue mission to go evacuate them from
Libya to Ghana.
They claim they are unable to reach the Ghanaian
Embassy in Tripoli for help and they are also unable to
get out of their safe havens because the rebels target
black people.
One victim, who mentioned his name as Koku Kingsley,
told Adom News “in my estimation more than 300
Ghanaians have been killed so far and over 250 of us
are now in a Military Camp at Tripoli waiting for Ghana
government to come take us home to Ghana.”
He said the Libyan military officers took them in but
they do not have any supplies in terms of clothes, food
or anything, so they are really in a difficult situation in
the camp.
Kingsley, who claimed to be a car tyre dealer in Tripoli,
said he witnessed a colleague of his die in a bomb
attack, and one other colleague of his left him to go get
his brother, but he has since not heard from him as his
phone lines are not going through.
One other victim called Godfred Konadu, aka Big Fredo
said he is trapped in his house at Zintan in Tripoli
because he is unable to go to work, and the shops
around where he lives are all empty because “the shop
owners have moved out the food and items into their
homes for their personal use.”
“We are not able to move around and meet each other
as Ghanaians because there is no gas and petrol so we
only communicate on phone,” he said in a Whatsapp
message to Adom News.
Big Fredo, who said he is a native of Suma Ahenkro in
the Jaman North District said the situation is precarious,
adding that “I can’t say exactly how many Ghanaians
have been killed where I am but I know two friends of
mine used to work in a factory which was recently
bombed and we have since not seen or heard from
them.”
These SOS calls from Ghanaians in Libya started trickling
in for more than a week now, but it is not clear what
Ghana government has been doing about it, as more
Ghanaians report living in precarious conditions in that
country.
