FROM the United States (U.S.) and the United Nations (UN) have come condemnation of the unlawful arrest, detention and killings of Nigerians and other black Africans in Libya.
Both the UN and the U.S. are calling for an end to the maltreatment, which has become more intensified since the onslaught on Tripoli by the rebel forces of the Libya National Transitional Council (NTC).
A statement from the U.S. State Department on Monday evening said the U.S. “is deeply concerned about reports of arbitrary detention and abuse of sub-Saharan African people in Libya” as the struggle to end the 42-year rule of Muammar Gaddafi continued. The State Department said the U.S. is looking forward to prompt implementation of measures that will end the abuses.
