Libya: Libya Militiamen and Others

libya: Itohen said she travelled through Niger and Libya with 150 others who hoped to make it to Europe, according to CTV. At least 20 died along the way from dehydration, hunger and illness. A woman told her and others they could be nannies in France. Many girls were raped in the course of our journey, even in the camps where the traffickers kept us before being handed over to Libya militiamen, she said, giving only her partial name for fear of retaliation. Two weeks ago, she disembarked from a plane and came home. I was lucky because I disguised as a boy before we left Nigeria. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
