There are report on Somali news websites that Libyans have killed four Somali refugees, believing them to be mercenaries. As you are hearing, these people have fled Mogudusho and Southern Somalia due to the violence, to be caught up in another. Ghadfi got the mercenaries from Chad, Nigeria, Niger, Ethiopia and the experts from Ukraine. The Somali refugees there are in dire situation due to no fault of their own.

This is a lesson to all Africans,The so-called leaders or dictators should wake up now to make proper use of their natural resources and get rid of greed and corruption.,Dictators should allow Africans enjoy their land potentials before what is happening in many arab nations start to hunt them.Imagine the westerners are airlifting their citizens even china but african dictators like Nigeria said they are intouch with their citizens untill they are all drowned in that boat which is over-loaded with people.in earnest i mean to say,they cna prevent what is going on now in arab world by embracing real and sustainable democracy.

I do sincerely hope that african governments do not let their citizens in Libya, who like most other foreigners in that country are there to make a life for themselves, not to be condemmed by the media these days as mere blood thirsty mercenaries.

These African government officials do not care whether their nationals die or live. They are more interest in where the next corrupt contract is coming from, and how much is in it for them. They are a careless, carefree and mindless waste of human existence.

May the Almighty GOD have mercy on all global migrants caught between the rock (their failed home nations) and the hard place (their failing host nations). May the Almighty GOD become the "Beulah" of our hopes and dreams -- for the future of our children. Amen.

Thaaai Thaaai (peace and blessings)

I apologize for breaking the house rules. I am passionate about what is currently going on in Africa. I promise to tone down my passion. But at least I heard bits of my sentiments expressed in Africa News on the BBC channel last dawn.
I was very grateful.
Once again I apologize.
Thank you Mr Moderator for the opportunity.

Its sickening to see all those Nigerians on such a small boat...i hope they make it safely as their governments don't care.Well done to Kenya, apparently the government has sent a Kenya airways plane to evacuate their citizens, they did the same in Egypt..

God save African!!! What have the Government of Sierra Leone done to repatriate Sierra Leonean back home????

evacuation was done by nigerian government during that of
Egypt. as at yesterday, there are indications that the federal
government of Nigeria is ready to bring back its citizens who
are willing to return untill Gadaffi abdicate.
Howveer, are some of the things we expect the wealthy nations
to take responsibilities. Although it is the constitutional perogative
of the government of Africa to protect the citizens. But the question
is,Do they have the financial capibility to be responsive to this eventualities?
Nigerian president Goodluk Jonathan is ready to bring back all nigerians
willing to come back. likewise other African government won't not watch their citizens perished in Libya.

African leaders are subjecting their citizens to the most in human treatment ever day in day out. In my opinion, current spate of unrest in the north of African is caused by insensitivity of men supposed to be leaders of their country(s). Because these leaders are too busy looting the treasury they failed in their duty of providing of basic infrastructure for their society.
People thinking the grass in greener on the other side then migrate from one African sate to another only to realise on arrival that they have merely jumped from fry-pan to fire.
How then do we think these leaders will think of evacuating people that were frustrated out of their respective countries in the first instance when there is problem in their host country? Will there be any provision made for them on arrival back home when the people they left behind are daily finding ways of getting out? The question goes on.
Charity begins at home, I was thought from elementary school. Maybe if African leaders could have a sober reflection with all this happenings around them, if they could have a re-think maybe they will realise what they are loosing in term of brain drain to countries that values human existence.
MAYBE THERE WILL BE LESS REASON FOR PEOPLE TO REVOLT AND LESS REASON TO EVACUATE THEIR ZITIZEN.

The other foreign people living in they may go back to their home country,what about eritrea somalia and the other that they have asylum problem in their home country? eritrean people are the people thay they migrated to get liberty from preason. they like to live freely they never do any unneed problems where ever they live,
except this suddenly war in libya, even when there was no war they were suffering with any body. their mony was taking by any libyan people.if they fight with him(libian) all the libyan takes him to kill.they hadnt freedom with their situation. what about now? they r in their house where they sleep for 24 hours. so please that i want to say is give them help(to save )from any risk. thank you.

The sooner the International community and people of Libya conquer Colonel Khaddafi would relieve suffering and bloodshed in Libya. Trial at the Hague is a no win situation because his lawyers can argue his cases successful by claiming not guilt by reason of insanity. So what is going to be the demise of this man? Confinement to a mental institution for the rest of his life.

The inablity to proceed further to Europe was one of the reasons most Nigerians in Libya found themselves settled in that country. Again, it's the failure of Nigerian government to provide jobs for the citizens that led to that desperate greener pasture,and some wouldn't want to return to Nigeria.

I have just read a tragic story of 2 Eritrean men shot dead in Bengahzi while trying to look for medicine to help their injuried friends after being attacked in thier hiding place. According to the Human rights concern Eritrea, the two men [Personal details removed by Moderator]were among 27 other Eritreans who recently came to the town to work. There are hundreds of Eritrean men and women whose lives are at risk because our own government is not willing to help. They have fled persecution and now face even greater danger at the hands of angry mobs who are mistaken them for mercinaries. The world need not forget these inocent men and women who are cought in the cross fire. The media specially the BBC(who has previously highlighted the appauling conditions Eritrean refugees were kept in prisons) should keep shining the torch of these voiceless and defendless people.

It's quite unfortunate things are happening this way,well,i'm happy with Nigerian government,atleast they're trying to bring their people back home though it's not easy for these migrants to cope psychologically.

This comment has been referred for further consideration. Explain.

For the Nigerian Populace in Libya, i wonder what is befalling them. Before now the Libyan government has being deporting hundreds and if not thousands of Nigerians from Libya in the past years. What is the fate of those still in detention camps. My fear is that, given the situation they may be coerced into one thing or the other. The Nigerian government should see it as their responsibility to see into the situation of these ones.

Yes I do have many of my extended family members are living in Libya, one of my cousins who lives in Libya managed to call me using Thuraya mobile phone and he told me that after Sudanese Gov announced that the Darfurian rabbles are the part of mercenaries, the situation for them has become seriously dangerous and they cannot go nowhere. He added also "Libyan are now targeting every black, they do not know who is who the Libyan Gov, pro-Gov militia, Libyan citizen every one after us"

As the Gaddafi regime falls apart it is likely that mercenaries will try to leave the country and escape possible criminal prosecution by passing them selves off as innocent refugees, it is important that border personnel and relief agencies are on the look out for such people and that they are not allowed to return to their home countries where they will resume their violent careers.
