Plight of Ethiopians in Libya and Racism in Arab world.

The ‘revolution’ in Libya has a dark side that the main stream media conveniently avoids: racism.  Racism is generally rampant in the Arab countries. Blacks in Libya have become targets of abuse and killings.

As Al-gezira grudgingly admits; “ Dozens of workers from sub-Saharan Africa are feared killed, and hundreds are in hiding, as angry mobs of anti-government protesters hunt down “black African mercenaries,” according to witnesses.”

Ethiopia does not have an embassy in Libya . However the Foreign Ministry has established a task force to assist Ethiopians return to their country.

Do you think the African Union has to be involved to address this problem once and for all?  What should be done to force the main stream western media to cover this ‘hidden’ crime against humanity? Have Your Say!
