  This situation has been exist for years and since Gaddafi died it has gotten worst.What is our African leaders doing about this to prevent people perishing on the Mediterranean. And what is the media also doing??. A special documentary should be done and show on our TV stations for those who have make their minds to use Libya as transit point to Italy or Europe. The situation in Libya now is very terrible after the death of Gaddafi. There is no job for the Libyans themselves so they kidnap the blacks whom are there to board a rubber boat to cross to Italy, sells them to fellow blacks(slaves agents) which even some of this agents are Ghanaians and Nigerians. This agents will ask u to pay a ransom before u will be release or keep u in cells which if u are not lucky u will die due to the condition in there.
  Some of them were even beaten to death and the women are forced to do prostitution to pay their ransom.When u get to Libya u are stuck and is not easy to return to where u came from.So after going through all this that's when they take the risk to cross the Mediterranean by a small overloaded rubber boat with people over 140 instead of 50.The smugglers tells the migrants is only 3 hours to reach Italy which is not.Many died if they are not lucky to meet rescue. It's a big time business in Libya now and there are agents here in Ghana and Nigeria that also transport them to Libya. One Ghanaian that I met shared his story with me and I wept. He saw his brother dying when their rubber boat carrying 140 people capsized on the Mediterranean.Over 70 died and luckily for him he got rescue after some minutes later by Libyan coastguard. Awwwww Africa hmmmm.

  African leaders should rise and develop something good for the youth for us to stay in our countries because the heat is hot else we will all leave the country. Peace
