A Prayer for Libya
Demanded a Ransom,
Beaten with cables
No phone calls to family members.
Trapped for months and unable to be set free until was able to pay his way home
painful feelings.
all dreams and aspirations left behind.
Witnessing people dying besides you from being beaten to death and mutilated.
he tells his story.
An ordinary town in Libya with folks living their everyday life.
working people, children going to school . families having dinner.
They are being auctioned.These people are being used as slaves the only thing that is missing is the chains on wrist and ankles
The event is so traumatizing for any human. Boats are filled
to a capacity of 100 people with gangs operating in the country. They travel across see not promised to make it alive. The smugglers are concerned
with making money.
Ten thousand people often try to cross the borders for better
opportunities in Europe. Leaving everything
behind and some selling all they have own to assist with financial in their journey.
These refugees have left for better but they are greeted with worse as slaves.
Black protesters have made it there duty to put a stop to it and create awareness worldwide so everyone knows what unimaginable horror that is taking place in Libya .
Lets say a prayer and ask God to put a stop to this horror. for slavery was abolished and our black folks can do without another cycle.
When I first heard about this story, I couldn't find words to express how I felt, still can't. It breaks my heart to know in 2017 we are still facing slavery. My thoughts and prayers are with the people affected by this horrendous crime. We need more people talking about this, to bring awareness. Thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteSuch a heartbreaking story!! Father God I'm asking for you to cover them with your blood. I'm asking if you could make them feel safe again. Protect the people especially the next generation.Father they desperately need your help in a time like this. I pray for recovery and especially restoration,healing, love and closure in Libya. Amen!!!!
ReplyDeleteAfrican nations continue to feel the horrific acts of slavery amongst nations everywhere. A country like Libya which is located on the African continent should be fully aware of the detrimental factors of slavery. Additionally,Muslims such as in Libya did not want to convert to Christianity associating the religion with the beliefs of "white slave masters". Poignantly, we see Libya having the same patterns of these white men.
