ARAB HATRED FOR BLACKS
I passed through Libya twice on the way to and from England to Nigeria. I have never liked the place. We had a few hours stopover there and they kept us in one useless waiting hall with locked doors. I asked one of the officials what if there was a fire? Nigerian Returnees From Libya Swell As 258 More Arrive
Eight days after 149 Nigerians voluntarily returned from Libya, another batch of 258 on Tuesday came back home from the North African country where they had been stranded enroute Europe.
