Bobi Wine Comments About Ongoing Slave Trade in Lybia

Musician/ Member of Parliament, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine is one man who always advocates for the massess. He is for the people, and always fighting for freedom. He has made his views known to the public, about the current Slave Trade in Lybia.

On his Facebook he posted;

***MODERN DAY SLAVE TRADE***
I am appalled at the reports of modern day slave trade, happening in 2017 on the African continent. Men, women and children are auctioned like cows and goats in Libyan markets. We all thought this ended with our forefathers from the 16th century to the 19th century when it was abolished.

HUMANITY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF ITSELF!

The most sickening thing about this is the silence of this world about such a thing. You and I cannot pretend that this is not happening. Media houses are silent. The Africa Union and other regional bodies are speaking in low tones.

This shocking reality, disgusting as it is should not be downplayed. World- RISE UP, SPEAK UP, ACT. Together let us condemn those heartless beasts who profit from human slavery.

Friends, there is another angle to this. These people who are being sold, tortured and killed are young Africans who see Libya as a route to Europe looking for a better life. Africa is a beautiful place with enormous enormous potential. Endowed with great natural and human resource. Sadly, most of this is not optimally utilised, with most countries being mismanaged by our leaders. We must rethink how to create jobs for our people and make continent attractive to all citizens. There is no reason why the African should be subjected to so much indignity looking for a better life in Europe.

We must also remember that this is happening in Libya because of the failure of the state and gross insecurity in that country. We all remember how Libya got there. Leaders should always be very reflective of what country they would want to leave behind and work towards that. When a leader waits to be forcefully kicked out of power, it is not only him, his family, and cronies who get into trouble, but many times the consequences are even worse for their countries and people.
