BENIN CITY, Nigeria Jude Ikuenobe sensed the car following him before he saw it. Heart pounding, he turned around. Under the Libyan desert sun, the highway stretching behind him was so hot it shimmered in the distance. Nobodys there, he tried to reassure himself for the tenth time since he had stepped out a few minutes earlier in search of water, along with three of his friends. The sandy side streets were deserted, every shop and café shuttered. It was a Friday afternoon, which meant even the armed militias who ruled Sabha, a sprawling oasis city 480 miles inland from the coastal capital, had filed to mosques for the most important weekly prayers. Then came the sound again the unmistakable purr of an engine. Wordlessly, all four men scattered. Ikuenobe felt like he was running through quicksand. As the car sped closer, he knew a single misstep could mean being gunned down and dying anonymously in the street.
He glanced over his shoulder, and terror seized him: A white 4x4 with tinted windows was heading straight at him. All the warnings hed heard flashed through his mind. In Sabha, every black man is a target. We black in Libya were money to Arabs. The minute they get us, they can sell us. If they are coming, just run. Run for your life. Ikuenobe ran, and kept running even as there was a screech of tires, the smell of burning rubber, and a volley of gunshots. He kept running as one of his friends hit the ground with a thud. He ran until his legs gave way in an unpaved alleyway, and he collapsed onto the sandy ground, drenched in fear and sweat....
At least he was alive none of his friends had made it back at all.

Thanks Hillary and Obama. Great job.
Obama, Hillary, McCain, Graham, and Rubio, either lobbied or implemented policies to arm and fund the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya. Soros’ organization already was.
The spillover toppled Khadaffy, Mubarak, and got Ambassador Stevens and his staff slaughtered.
Egypt was able to right itself.
Libya is a hot mess to this day.
As for Stevens and his staff, there’s no undoing that, and the US government perps just washed their hands of it and acted as if nothing happened. And that was just the night it happened.
They haven’t changed that policy since either.
That’s Barry Obama standing with Islam for you.
How much to rent one on weekends?
They link to a Guardian article, that says no such thing.
Just another excuse to bash President Trump for the horrors inflicted by the Obama administration.
Very little, if you are a Muslim.
****
Ping.
Article, and comments, - esp #3
Typical media fake news.
Overtaxation being just after that on the list of near slavery offenses that should be treated in a similar manner.
Look on craigslist
Bump
My blood is boiling right now because of McCain’s involvement. I swear, he was an even MORE protected species than Hitlery is/was. And now that he’s dead we’re not supposed to speak badly about him? Why, because it’ll hurt his family? To hell with them.
Or perhaps they REALLY,REALLY want to discourage having their country overrun with illegal immigrants from the south.
Yes when I was in northern Nigeria it was obvious.
Asking for a cat lady friend? :-P
But, of course, it’s Trump’s fault.
Shes prolly getting a 10% bounty on each captured black man as finders fee
