Haunting, sickening.
This is the supply side, who are the buyers. Can we go after the buyers
I wish I could help her. This is awful.
Our reminder that we should be thankful for our small problems. May she be rescued.
This has been going on for years yet you dont hear or see this as much as other human crisis. This should not be happening and im pissed that nothing has been done
Edit: I’m not endorsing this link. Just posted it because almost no one else is covering it because these types of stories don’t get coverage in the West

>Naima Jamal, a 20-year-old Ethiopian woman from Oromia, was abducted shortly after her arrival in Libya in May 2024. Since then, her family has been subjected to enormous demands from human traffickers, their calls laden with threats and cruelty, their ransom demands rise and shift with each passing week. The latest demand: $6,000 for her release.
>This morning, the traffickers sent a video of Naima being tortured. The footage, which her family received with horror, shows the unimaginable brutality of Libya’s trafficking networks. Naima is not alone. In another image sent alongside the video, over 50 other victims can be seen, their bodies and spirits shackled, awaiting to be auctioned like commodities in a market that has no place in humanity but thrives in Libya, a nation where the echoes of its ancient slave trade still roar loud and unbroken.
>“This is the reality of Libya today,” writes activist and survivor David Yambio in response to this atrocity. “It is not enough to call it chaotic or lawless; that would be too kind. Libya is a machine built to grind Black bodies into dust. The auctions today carry the same cold calculations as those centuries ago: a man reduced to the strength of his arms, a woman to the curve of her back, a child to the potential of their years.”
>Naima’s present situation is one of many. Libya has become a graveyard for Black migrants, a place where the dehumanization of Blackness is neither hidden nor condemned. Traffickers operate openly, fueled by impunity and the complicity of systems that turn a blind eye to this horror. And the world, Yambio reminds us, looks the other way:
>“Libya is Europe’s shadow, the unspoken truth of its migration policy—a hell constructed by Arab racism and fueled by European indifference. They call it border control, but it is cruelty dressed in bureaucracy.”
Now why tf does an innocent women deserve this
Well…. I’m done! Night everyone!
Fucking barbaric. How can she be helped??
This makes my heart cry
This makes me sick to my stomach, that poor woman. No one deserves to go through this. What the actual fuck is wrong with humans that we treat each other like this
She has given up and her entire demeanor is to reduce any additional harm and pain that might not be coming were she less diminished. This is absolutely heart breaking.
Imagine the absolute hellish experience some people get subjected to just because those systems are unstable and not programmed properly. Even the players trying to create stability locally don’t have the capacity to solve the chaos. Basically they are lost in chaos. They have lost the momentum of the current timeline and fallen back into chaos.
Every thing that makes rest of the world work is very far from that natural wild chaos. The matured elements of a working world can’t be created in that chaos ever again. Third party has to step in and stop the chaos entirely.
Are the slavers Libyans?
Someone’s daughter, maybe someone’s mother. Just tied up. We fight for better conditions for animals, we need to fight for both.
Imagine if a wealthy man bought them all, freed them as soon as they were over the horizon, offered them military training, and funded their attack to go wipe out the slavers.
I wouldn’t mind seeing that on the news some night.
This is absolutely insane to see in 2025. WTF humanity. Why is shit like this still happening?? My MIL always says that “everything happens for a reason”. Is this happening for a reason?? My brain has trouble comprehending this sort of evil.
I’ll preface my comment by saying that I am a Bernie Sanders Progressive, or what used to be known as an Eisenhower Republican. Go to the research, you’ll see that their policies were basically the same, it shows how far to the right our country has gone.
I’m not an expert on this subject, but I’m not totally ignorant either, and as far as I can see taking out Gaddafi was the stupidest fucking thing we’ve done since World War II. Not only does Libya now have slave markets, Gaddafi had admitted to and willingly ended his nuclear arms program. How did that work out for him?
*That will be the last time any country ever willingly gives up its nuclear arms program.*
Just unbelievably stupid shit.
This photo is both eerie and haunting.
Really speaks volumes of how trivial my problems are, and how civilized my space is compared to the rest of the world.,

This makes me sick…. wtf, I thought we had advanced further than this in 2025.
r/Libya denies that there are slave markets.
People who mentioned this on r/ Libya get down voted and ridiculed.
People spend more on a luxury handbag or airline seats than her ransom. If I had $6k lying around it would already be paid. Where are the billionaires?
She is one of millions. There are more slaves now than at any point in human history.
If we can afford to give someone more than a billion dollars for a lottery ticket we can afford to hire some sick superhero mercenary group to wander the Earth and eliminate people like these terrorists.
Where did this photo come from and is there a legit organization that’s actually taking any action to do something about it? So absolutely horrifying and soul destroying.
Thank you for sharing this.
She needs help
WTF IS HAPPENING!!!!
I hope she is rescued and all her captors are brought to HARSH justice!
