[UPDATE] Nigeria Protests Killing Of Its Nationals In Libya. Finally Listening!


Gbenga now growing some balls

BTW, shame on all those who were badmouthing hapless and oppressed Nigerian migrant workers from thread to thread, telling them to "go die jor".  God forgive una. If we don't stand by our people nobody will.

I hope Gbenga will do his job dutifully now, stop denying the obvious and put pressure to bear on those racist, muderous Libyans!

May the Dead RIP 

[size=18pt]Nigeria protests killing of its nationals in Libya[/size]
By Yusuf Alli 4 hours 3 minutes ago



Amb. Olugbenga Ashiru
Nigeria is protesting to Libya’s Transitional National Council (TNC), Britain and France the killing of its nationals in the troubled North African country.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Amb. Olugbenga Ashiru abandoned a church service yesterday to take distress calls of Nigerians in Libya, including their co-ordinator, Mr. Daramola Siji.

Nigerians are being attacked in Tripoli, Benghazi, Gath, Agadez and Sirte, the hometown of the embattled Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, whose 42-year grip on power has been removed by a six-month insurgency.
A source said: “Unharmed Nigerians are being killed in tens for no just cause. In some instances, they violation Nigerian women before shooting them to death.

“Yet, this is the same TNC that the Federal Government is backing in Libya. The blacks are not involved in Libyan crisis; they do not deserve this massacre.”

In one of the distress notes sent to the Presidency and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Siji, who is from Emure-Ekiti, said: “We cannot go out of our homes, my wife and children. We will certainly be shot. We don’t have food and we lack everything.

“We can save lives. I am calling on AU to act and save African families boxed in troubled Libya and if anyone could reach out to the Nigerian government to stop the killing of Nigerians by the former rebels who are now the new leaders in Libya, it will be better.”

In a telephone chat with our correspondent, Siji gave details of how Nigerians have become the targets of the rebels.
He added: “The truth is that when Gaddafi was in office, he had sympathy for black Africans and many have even settled in Libya.

“Nigerians have been the butt of the attacks on the blacks because the rebels could hardly differentiate them from Ghanaians, Malians, Nigerians, Burkinabes, Senegalese and Gambians.

“They are really killing many Nigerians and this is just unfortunate.”

The Nation learnt that Amb. Ashiru was moved into action after getting the distress call yesterday. He shelved a church service to attend to the calls.

A government source said: “Apart from talking to Siji directly, the Minister also reached out to the TNC, Britain and France on the need to stop the killing of black migrant workers, especially Nigerians.

“For about five hours yesterday, the Minister was talking to the TNC leaders, Britain and France on why the genocide must stop.

“The Federal Government has pleaded with Britain and France to prevail on the TNC leaders to ask their foot soldiers to end the massacre of blacks in Libya.

“I think immediate action has been taken and there will be respite for not only Nigerians, but all the blacks in Libya.

“The government has also asked the TNC to liaise with Siji, who will now serve as a coordinator or Liaison Officer on how to protect the blacks, especially Nigerians.

“Also, the Nigerian Ambassador to Ethiopia has been asked to relate with the Nigerian community in the Libyan cities. The Ambassador will also work directly with the TNC.

“The Ambassador is also expected to send hourly situation reports to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where a desk has been opened to monitor TNC’s attitude to blacks, especially Nigerians, in Libya.”

This is the second time in the last four days that the Federal Government has protested to its TNC ally in Libya over the massacre of black migrant workers.

The Minister said Thursday: “The Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria wishes to note with concern reports of incessant abuse of helpless civilians in Libya by some unscrupulous elements who continue to take undue advantage of the ongoing crisis in that country, particularly to carry out attacks on Black migrant workers and other Black Africans stranded in Libya arising from crisis in that country.


“Regrettably, these reports revealed outright killings, violation and extortion of money from these helpless Africans who have taken refuge in camps as well as those in detention and incarceration.

“This development is a deviation from the overall expressed desire of the TNC, the African Union and indeed the United Nations for the restoration of democracy and good governance in Libya.

“These extra-judicial killings certainly run contrary to Nigeria’s call for the leadership of the TNC to be magnanimous in victory and can only stand in the way of peace building, early reconciliation and reconstruction in Libya.

“While confirming that the concern of the Nigerian government on this reported development has accordingly been brought to the urgent attention of the representative of the TNC, the government seizes this opportunity to call on the leadership of the TNC to immediately take steps to check the excesses of these unscrupulous elements in Libya in order to pave the way for the restoration of genuine democracy and true reconciliation for all Libyans.

“Nigeria reiterates its support not only for the yearnings for political freedom by the Libyan people, but also in the ability of the leadership of the TNC to restore order in the Libyan society at the shortest possible time.

“Government believes that the immediate task for the enthronement of democracy, rule of law, political and socio-economic reconstruction and development in Libya should be carried out without hindrance.”

Images of black Africans camping near the port in Tripoli, the Libyan capital, were shown on Sky News yesterday. The refugees spoke of attacks by the rebels, who violated women. Many immigrants have been killed, they said.

I think this deserves to be on the homepage too.

nigerian leaders can be comedians sometimes.


but seriously, arent there supposed to be people whose job it is to brief the heads of parastatals and keep them updated on general events just to make sure all bases are covered?

tpia@:

nigerian leaders can be comedians sometimes.

Right they certainly do a good job of playing funny with serious situations.

Anyway, this is better than the silliness and "head in the sand game" of the last few months.

It's sad they had to pull Gbenga Ashiru out of a church service to do a job he should have done weeks ago.

I hope my president GEJ gives him a sack/Query for this laxity, many people already died!

At least they are taking some action, Too late for the poor babes who were raped and shot and had their pictures posted to racist channels like AL Jazeera as mercenaries but, maybe 1 or 2 will be saved by this!

If you are a Black in LIbya you are jailed if you are lucky and killed if you are not!!

no one would have imagined blacks being jailed en masse simply because of skin colour, in the 21st century.

quite amazing but oh well.

its a war zone.

it all shows the part of man that ever remains untamed.

Everybody in the World is making one mistake or the other with the rebels. They are just a chaotic bunch of Libyan citizens with weapons, so you never really know what they might do.
The right thing for responsible countries to do is try to bring the war to a quick end and the most potent way of doing that is to recognise the rebels and make Gaddafi's side see the futility in a prolonged civil war that would cost more black lives anyway. 34 countries in Africa have already done so, they can't all be wrong.

Now that the initial mistake has been made, we should expect robust action to save the lives of Nigerians and all other blacks.

^^sometimes i wonder if you're gej himself, or patience.

Good at least this is a direct message to the minister. I wonder if they don't listen to news about the massacre going on in libya.

Beaf:

Right. I really hope for "robust actions" too.

But I also want Ashiru fired, he was supposed to cover this flank for Mr President. Anyway that's GEJ's call.

As long as mistake and responsibility is accepted.

tpia@:

^^sometimes i wonder if you're gej himself, or patience.

Madam, wonder no more, I am your god as you will find. Now kneel down and pray!

Relax101:

I wonder if they don't listen to news about the massacre going on in libya.

Well, generally, our leaders are world experts at "burying head in the sand" "I put tissue for ear" and other similar games.

I think they specially teach them to "play the ostrich". They are very effective at it.

We are no longer "appealing" now we are "protesting"

Homepage please.

This is the voice of Jacob but the hands of Esau.



If all of AU recognizes the TNC, then what will happen? Will the rebels not continue with their ill-minded deeds. One thing we should know is that there must be total pull out these men and women from Libya until this civil war is over.

It's not just Blacks, Nigerians, Africans; it extends to Europeans na d Asians as well.

[size=18pt]Foreigners complain of harassment by Libya rebels[/size]
By HADEEL AL-SHALCHI - Associated Press,KARIN LAUB - Associated Press | AP – 9 hrs ago
   


TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — A Ghanaian teacher cowers in his house, certain he will be grabbed at a checkpoint because of his dark skin. Armed rebels detain 19 Ukrainian cooks and oil workers for several days on unsupported claims that they are really snipers for Moammar Gadhafi.
They're among thousands of foreigners caught in a web of suspicion as rebel fighters pursue the remnants of Gadhafi's forces. Gadhafi hired some foreigners as mercenaries, but many others held ordinary jobs in Libya, and the rebels who ousted the Gadhafi regime from most of Tripoli last month often seem to make little effort to tell them apart.
"How can we be snipers?" cook Maksim Shadrov asked angrily at a training center for oil workers in Tripoli where he, his wife and 17 other Ukrainians were being held.
"They are old. She is a woman. We are not snipers," he said, pointing to some members of his group. Even a rebel commander conceded that he had no evidence to the contrary, but held them nonetheless, despite a diplomat's efforts to free them.
In rebel-run Tripoli, people with dark skin — even Libyans — are at risk because Gadhafi is known to have recruited soldiers from sub-Saharan Africa.
"Every black is a target," said Tony Biney, the Ghanaian teacher, who stayed home with his wife for two weeks before risking a trip to church.
There have been widespread arrests and frequent abuse of migrant workers since the rebels seized Tripoli late last month, Human Rights Watch said Sunday, but did not give an estimate of the number of detainees. The group said the clampdown created "a grave sense of fear among the city's African population."
A rebel official estimated that some 5,000 people have been detained since rebels seized Tripoli. At one makeshift detention camp, conditions for Libyan detainees were acceptable, but sub-Saharan Africans were held in overcrowded cells with a putrid stench, Human Rights Watch said. The detainees complained of a lack of water and poor sanitation.
The detentions have created an image problem for the rebel leadership, which relies heavily on Western support and has pledged to build a new Libya based on the rule of law, in contrast to Gadhafi's brutal regime.
The harsh treatment could also cause problems for the rebels as they attempt to rebuild Libya's economy, which has depended heavily on foreign workers to keep up with its oil boom. However, the draw of steady, well-paid employment may in the end be stronger than the fear of mistreatment.
Before the six-month civil war that brought down Gadhafi, hundreds of thousands of foreigners filled jobs Libyans didn't want or weren't trained for, including in construction, oil and health services. Data is sketchy, but some estimates say at least 1.5 million foreigners worked in Libya, a country of just 6 million.
The workers are mainly Africans, Asians and Eastern Europeans, lured from economically depressed countries by Libya's relatively high wages.
Hundreds of thousands of them fled Libya after the outbreak of fighting in February, many complaining at the time that they had not been paid or were robbed by Gadhafi troops on the way to the border. Others were either unable or unwilling to leave.
On Sunday, Human Rights Watch called on the rebels to stop arbitrary arrests and to set up a system to review cases of people alleged to be mercenaries. The New York-based group said it has evidence that the Gadhafi regime recruited hundreds of mercenaries from Chad, Sudan and other countries — but noted that cannot serve as the basis for mass arrests.
The rebel leadership "has legitimate concerns about unlawful mercenaries and violent activity, but it can't simply arrest dark-skinned men just in case they think they might be mercenaries," said Sarah Leah Whitson of Human Rights Watch.
The rebels' National Transitional Council has called on fighters not to abuse prisoners and says those accused of crimes will receive fair trials.
In one sign of possible change, an official for the U.N.'s main refugee agency, Sam Cheung, said several dozen Somalis were released to his group Sunday.
"We are hoping this is a model, a first transaction," Cheung said.
The Philippines sent a senior diplomat to give some 1,700 Filipino workers, mostly nurses, the option of leaving. A government official said four Filipino housemaids who worked for a Gadhafi relative will take the offer.
Some workers said they hadn't been harassed by either side in the war. Others, including some of the Ukrainian detainees, planned to stay in Libya despite receiving rough treatment.
"As you know, life in the Ukraine is bad," said Shadrov, the cook. "We came here to earn money for our family."
The Ukrainians, hired by the Russian-Libyan oil company Dakara, arrived in Tripoli in July. After the rebels entered the capital on Aug. 21, the Ukrainians were detained by rebel fighters, handcuffed and moved to various locations, Shadrov said.
"They took everything from us," he said. "Money, passports, computers, everything."
Othman bin Othman, the rebel commander in charge of the oil workers' training center, initially said the Ukrainians were armed and trained as snipers, but changed his account after reporters interviewed the detainees.
"To be very honest, we didn't find any weapons in their houses or on them, but they arrived into the country illegally and during a very sensitive time — after the war," he said. "This led us to believe they were working for the enemy."
Diplomats from Russia and Ukraine visited the group, and Shadrov's father, a Russian citizen, was able to leave.
At a meeting with the rebels, the Ukrainian consul was asked to bring back a written promise that if the Ukrainians are allowed to leave the detention center, they will stay in their homes and not leave the country without proper documentation.
Some of Gadhafi's real mercenaries, meanwhile, have already left.
Mohamed, a migrant worker from Mali, said he came to Libya in 2007 and found work in restaurants and as a gardener.
Speaking in the Mali town of Bamako, he said he briefly joined a pro-Gadhafi militia after the outbreak of the uprising, and was sent to try to crush rebels in the port city of Misrata, a stronghold of the revolt. He said he stopped fighting after a couple of weeks and returned to Mali.
Mohamed did not give his last name because he said did not want anyone to know he fought for Gadhafi. He said he still has family in Libya and has not been able to get in touch with them for more than two weeks.
Biney, the Ghanaian teacher, and his wife, a housekeeper, said they will stay in Libya. They need the money.
They're continuing to keep a low profile, but left their home Friday to make a quick dash to St. Francis Catholic Church in downtown Tripoli. They hired a driver for $90, a steep sum, they said, since they haven't worked or been paid for six months.
They did it, Vida Biney said, to say a prayer of thanks for surviving the war.
"We are alive. We are grateful to God," she said.

When the nigerian government kills biafrans it's ok, but when nigerians are killed it is genocide, Sil.ly people rubbis.h country. The spirit of biafra will continue to punish nigerians

Dude, some of those killed in Libya are "Biafrans" too nah

O are we finally admitting these 'rebels' are radical maniacs?

Chineke bros. what are you saying?? Pls don't take it personal "Do you read this thread well before you respond?"
this is shocking response I still dont know the connectivity with what the thread is all about may be you need to read it over again plsssss.

queensmith:

How boneheaded of you , So they are "radicals maniacs" because they are overthrowing a despot ruler who has been in power for 40 years,filling his bank accts with billions while imprisoning opposition party members for no reason.??

Nigeria has no right to complain, just airlift all your citizens away from there, just like other countries do wherever there is local conflict.

This is not about Rebels or Ghaddafi, rebels have a right to remove a leader and ghaddafi can resist if he wants, that is their own internal Libyan wahala.

How they treat our own people is the issue here (Especially those we support) and what we are doing to help our own. Anyway I'm glad Ashiru is finally waking up, plenty don die already though.

medicine after death

Clearly seen that you've been brainwashed with fake reports and news on CNN and BBC , tell me if Ghadaffi was a despot enriching himself and his family why was libya's standard of living better than that of americans? last time i checked no one bombed the US or sanctioned them when they arrested members of the black panthers in the US because they vehemently opposed racism and fought  for black freedom, no one also sanctioned them when they killed their own in WACO, the sooner you realize that this whole uprising in libya has been a facade for western recolonization of africa the better for u

As much as i'm appalled at black brothers being lynched and commiserate with their families , i hope it does not give NATO a reason to officially deploy ground troops in Libya, I'd rather have the AU handle this.

White and Arab mercenaries have been all over Africa, with Africans not attacking these mercenaries. The minute some idiot is rumoured to use a handful of Africans as mercenaries the press ignores the wholesale killing and cleansing of Africans in Libya.

Na wa oh. Anyhow it is good the Govt has spoken, a pity it is late and likely to be just by mouth alone.

There was an initial airlift before the issue escalated to what is going on now. Nigerians are sometimes stubborn, should they have to wait before the situation degenerate to that extent before they begin to think about ways of escape?
We should all know that sometimes, war can degenerate to any extent, for some it is an opportunity to settle old scores.

Or do the Nigerians believed that they can make more/good business doing war situations? Life should come first. Conflicts never gives a good experience but sometimes can teach a good lesson.-Brain

Why can't our government always fight for his citizen first Other country evacuated their citizens at the point the problem started in Libya. Nigeria will never fight for their citizen unless they are in their separate ways, because Youruba man can not sleep seeing his fellow Youruba man being killed in another country, likewise IGBO and Housa.

LOL as opposed to your democratic government who smoothly and legally gained power and have kept thier fingers out of curroption and pockets free of the country billions from oil money?

Libya is a better country than Nigeria can ever be, houses for $400 free university education. What has your government done in the past 53 years of independance? talk about the plank in your country! kmt

Can anyone tell me what threat the Nigerian woman in this video

A few years ago British special forces got caught in Iraq, so who really knows who is behind this.






British Special Forces Caught Carrying Out Staged Terror In Iraq?








Media blackout shadows why black op soldiers were arrested

Paul Joseph Watson | September 20 2005

In another example of how the Iraqi quagmire is deliberately designed to degenerate into a chaotic abyss, British SAS were caught attempting to stage a terror attack and the media have dutifully shut up about the real questions surrounding the incident.

What is admitted is that two British soldiers in Arab garb and head dress drove a car towards a group of Iraq police and began firing. According to the Basra governor Mohammed al-Waili, one policeman was shot dead and another was injured. Pictured below are the wigs and clothing that the soldiers were wearing.



The Arab garb is obviously undeniable proof that the operation, whatever its ultimate intention, was staged so that any eyewitnesses would believe it had been carried out by Iraqis.

This has all the indications of a frame up.

This is made all the more interesting by the fact that early reports cited as originating from BBC World Service radio stated that the car used contained explosives. Was this another staged car bombing intended to keep tensions high? As you will discover later, the plan to keep Iraq divided and in turmoil is an actual policy directive that spans back over two decades.

The BBC reports that the car did contain, "assault rifles, a light machine gun, an anti-tank weapon, radio gear and medical kit. This is thought to be standard kit for the SAS operating in such a theatre of operations."

And are fake bushy black wigs and turbans standard kit for the SAS? What happened to the early reports of explosives? Why has the media relentlessly reported on the subsequent rescue effort and failed to address these key questions?

The soldiers were arrested and taken to a nearby jail where they were confronted and interrogated by an Iraqi judge.

The initial demand from the puppet authorities that the soldiers be released was rejected by the Basra government. At that point tanks were sent in to 'rescue' the terrorists and the 'liberated' Iraqis started to riot, firebombing and pelting stones at the vehicles injuring British troops as was depicted in this dramatic Reuters photo.



As the SAS were being rescued 150 prisoners escaped from the jail. Was this intentional or just a result of another botched black op?

From this point on media coverage was monopolized by accounts of the rescue and the giant marauding pink elephant in the living room, namely why the soldiers were arrested in the first place, was routinely ignored.

The only outlet to ask any serious questions was Australian TV news which according to one viewer gave, "credibility to the 'conspiracy theorists' who have long claimed many terrorist acts in Iraq are, in fact, being initiated and carried out by US, British and Israeli forces."

Iran's top military commander Brigadier General Mohammad-Baqer Zolqadr pointed the finger at the occupational government last week by publicly stating,

“The Americans blame weak and feeble groups in Iraq for insecurity in this country. We do not believe this and we have information that the insecurity has its roots in the activities of American and Israeli spies,” Zolqadr said.

“Insecurity in Iraq is a deeply-rooted phenomenon. The root of insecurity in Iraq lies in the occupation of this country by foreigners”.

“If Iraq is to become secure, there will be no room for the occupiers”.



That explanation has a lot of currency amongst ordinary Iraqis who have been direct witnesses to these bombings.

In the past we’ve asked questions about why so-called car bombings leave giant craters, in addition with eyewitness reports that helicopters were carrying out the attacks.

Throughout history we see the tactic of divide and conquer being used to enslave populations and swallow formerly sovereign countries by piecemeal. From the British stirring up aggression between different Indian tribes in order to foment division, to modern day Yugoslavia where the country was rejecting the IMF and world bank takeover before the Globalists broke it up and took the country piece by piece by arming and empowering extremists.

And so to Iraq, New York Times November 25th 2003, Leslie Gelb of the Council on Foreign Relations writes,

"To put most of its money and troops where they would do the most good quickly - with the Kurds and Shiites. The United States could extricate most of its forces from the so-called Sunni Triangle, north and west of Baghdad,  American officials could then wait for the troublesome and domineering Sunnis, without oil or oil revenues, to moderate their ambitions or suffer the consequences."

Gelb argues for allowing the rebellion to escalate in order to create a divided Iraq.

And in 1982, Oded Yinon, an official from the Israeli Foreign Affairs office, wrote: "To dissolve Iraq is even more important for us than dissolving Syria. In the short term, it's Iraqi power that constitutes the greatest threat to Israel. The Iran-Iraq war tore Iraq apart and provoked its downfall. All manner of inter-Arab conflict help us and accelerate our goal of breaking up Iraq into small, diverse pieces."

So if the plan is to keep the different sects at each others' throats then who benefits from the chaos created by the endless bombings? President Bush's slip of the tongue when he stated, "it'll take time to restore chaos and order -- order out of chaos, but we will" seems less farcical in this light.

Plans for 4,000 NATO troops to replace US troops in Afghanistan will likely be mirrored in Iraq and the country will be used as a launch pad for the coming invasions of Syria and Iran.

It is certain that any reports coming out of Iraq accusing occupational forces of being behind car bombings will be brutally censored.

The Pentagon admitted before the war that independent journalists would be military targets and since then we've seen more journalists killed in Iraq over two and a half years than the entire seven year stretch of US involvement in Vietnam.

In many cases, such as that of Mazen Dana, an acclaimed hero who was killed after filming secret US mass graves, journalists are hunted down and executed because they record something that the occupational government doesn't want to reach the wider world.



Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena's car was fired upon and an Italian secret service agent killed after Sgrena was told by the group that kidnapped her that a threat to kill her if Italian troops didn't pull out of Iraq wasn't made by them. This means that Rumsfeld's Ministry of Truth in Iraq is putting out false statements by fake Jihad groups to try and maintain the facade that the resistance is run by brutal terrorists under the direction of Al-Qaeda/Iran/Syria or whoever else they want to bomb next.

Every high profile kidnapping brings with it eyewitness reports of white men in suits and police carrying out the abductions.

Many will find it hard to believe that ordinary soldiers would have it in them to carry out such brutal atrocities. The people carrying out these acts are not ordinary soldiers, they are SAS thugs who have been told that they have to be 'more evil than the terrorists' to defeat the terrorists. This is how they morally justify to themselves engaging in this criminal behavior.

We will update this story as and when new developments take place


http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2005/200905stagedterror.htm

i am realy appalled dat some people are actually blaming Nigerians for staying behind in Libya during the war. do you guys follow the news to watch hundreds of black-kinned Africans who packed themselves on boats and risked themselves in the meditterean to leave Libya? Do you think evacuation is always 100% successful? By the way how many planes did your government send to libya to evacuate the many thousands of Nigerians living in Libya? How can your support for the rebels blinds your vision to the wickedness they do against your own kind? SHAME ON YOU
