IT IS ALMOST ONE Month since Cable News Network (CNN) unearthed the gruesome enslavement of black African migrants in Libya. THE ACRIMONY OF THIS despicable 21st CENTURY slavery became even more palpable amongst Liberians when Franklin Teah, a young Liberian who managed to escape from Libya, recounted his dreadful experience to one of our staffs. Some African governments have already moved to rescue their stranded citizens and took them back home. This, we believe impacted a recent protest by mostly young Liberians. This is the case of those stranded migrants and we would not ignore all the contributing factors that influenced their venture of seeking better opportunities.
