Darrin Zammit Lupi - Libyans flee by boat amid 'terrible' violence at home


The West freed the Libyians from Muammar Gaddafi  and socialism. 

ABOARD SEEFUCHS RESCUE SHIP (Reuters) - Just before the sun dipped into the Mediterranean on Saturday, rescuers spotted a tiny wooden boat on the horizon. It turned out to contain five young Libyans fleeing violence and turmoil who were waving their arms for help.


The crew of the Seefuchs plucked them from the old fishing boat, gave them water and couscous and one of the men, 26-year-old Hamza Tekbali, explained why they had fled their country.
“Libya is terrible,” Tekbali told Reuters as he waited to be transferred to an Italian coast guard vessel. “In Libya, if you do not kill, they will kill you,” he said, adding that he feared he would be sent straight back home.

"Conditions in Libya have deteriorated sharply since a 2011 uprising that ousted Muammar Gaddafi."

CIA coup. Hillary laughed gleefully when Gaddafi was assinated.

Apparently, when Truman saw the demonstration of the nuclear weapon he couldn't keep the glee of his face. He must of thought it was wonderful.

The West's ham fisted interference in Libya certainly explains many of the problems there. But even absent that interference, my guess is that a fair number of Libyans would be fleeing to the West. The reason is that many migrants are fleeing Islam if this article (written by a migrant) is any guide:

It's a good thing the U.S. military isn't revenue constrained.
