Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief at the end of this mission. Although this kind of escort mission is actually not that dangerous compared with other missions that involve real swords and guns. But in fact this is quite a mental test for a person. Not only must you have careful thinking, but you must also have the spirit to face strong pressure. Lin Rui himself felt that this mission was actually quite tiring.
After the mission is over. Lin Rui led the team back to their destination in Niger for a short rest. Silver Wolf and Black Panther Gulei found them after they rested for about a week.
"How's it going?" Silver Wolf looked at Lin Rui and said, "Have you almost recovered?"
"No one was injured in this mission. I only suffered a little impact and contusion. It's not a big problem." Lin Rui nodded and said, "Usually when you come to me in such a hurry, there must be something special, right? Is there anything difficult about it? What about your mission?¡±
Black Panther Gulei smiled and said, "Can't we come and see you if we don't have a mission? I heard that you made a splash this time and beat up the French President's bodyguards."
"Stop doing this." Lin Rui smiled and scolded, "It would be possible if Silver Wolf came to see me. After all, he is the boss, and it is normal to care about his employees. But when I saw this guy like you, basically It has been determined since we went up, there must be something going on. Think about yourself, every time you come to me, there must be some trouble again. "
Yin Lang also smiled and shook his head and said, "You have wronged him this time. He came here with me, and I am the one who really wants to trouble you."
"Are there any other tasks?" Lin Rui frowned.
Silver Wolf nodded, "What do your African slaves think?"
"African slaves?" Lin Rui frowned, "This seems to be something in the history books, right?"
"What if I told you that such a thing still exists?" Silver Wolf asked Black Panther Gulei to turn on the mobile computer, which was playing a video. A group of people gathered on the video, "Does anyone need a digger? This is a digger, a strong man, he can dig." An auctioneer shouted,
"500, 550, 600, 650" As the price changes, buyers keep raising their hands. Just minutes later it was all over and the black man, resigned to his fate, was handed over to his "new owners." More followed, not just grown men, but women and children as well. Everyone was auctioned with clearly marked prices.
"What is this?" Lin Rui asked in surprise.
"Last month, there was a slave auction in Libya. You read and heard it right, it was slaves. Someone was buying and selling a lot of slaves." Silver Wolf sighed.
"There is such a blatant slave trade in modern society?" Lin Rui frowned. He had been in Africa for a long time and was used to seeing all kinds of messy things, but he always thought that the slave trade was a very distant memory in Africa. Unexpectedly, such extremely cruel things are still happening today.
Silver Wolf nodded and said, "In the past three years, more than 150,000 illegal immigrants and refugees from Africa have entered Europe from Libya every year, hoping to live a new life. But more people will never be able to reach Europe as they wish. This It's a journey fraught with danger. According to reports, more than 3,000 people have drowned while trying to cross the Mediterranean in the past four years.
Not only that, with the recent crackdown by the Libyan Coast Guard, more and more ships are unable to go to sea, and these illegal immigrants who cannot go to Europe are usually imprisoned in Libya by human traffickers. When the warehouses are overcrowded or the illegal immigrants cannot pay the ransom, Later, some people will be sold into slavery. There may be between 400,000 and 1 million illegal immigrants trapped in Libya now.
Here, they suffer unimaginable torture and psychological torture, and what awaits them is only an unknown tomorrow and endless despair. Some people successfully escaped from the Demon Cave, some were sold into slavery, and some disappeared forever. "
Black Panther Gulay also nodded and said, "Libya is a hub for illegal African immigrants who want to go to European countries. Here you can take a rubber boat and cross the Mediterranean to reach Europe. In Libya, there are many human traffickers pretending to be coast guards, police or taxis. Drivers come to trap victims. They then sell them elsewhere.
One of these places is the Olumi Federation. The climate there is tropical, and the main cash crops are cocoa and coffee. The planting area accounts for 60% of the country's arable land. Many of the workers who worked there were child slaves, who were bought from the market at a low price by farmers. Every child has to work 12 to 15 hours a day, every day, and they have no choice. Their price in the market is only worth the price of a carton of cigarettes. "
"That's damned." Crazy Horse shook his head. "That's the worst thing I've ever heard."
? ?The wolf nodded, "The truth is that more people are enslaved now than at any time in history, and 'slaves' are the third largest illegal trade in the world, second only to arms and drugs. The International Organization for Migration said on April 11 , reports submitted by the organization's staff in Niger and Libya in the past few weeks show that there is a modern version of the "slave market" on the roads of African refugees heading to Europe, where hundreds of young Africans are bought and sold like commodities.
Many refugees received by the organization reflect the existence of the "slave market", and refugees from West African countries such as Nigeria, Guinea, Ghana, and The Gambia are the main victims. Post-war Libya was devastated and unable to stop organized crime, providing a breeding ground for the "slave market." "
"Although it is a pity, the international community is powerless to stop this kind of thing, and we can't help. We are mercenaries, not the Salvation Army. We can't save these people." Lin Rui nodded.
"Yes, if we don't have money, we can't save the world. But now someone pays us to save these slaves." Silver Wolf nodded. "There are several international organizations, they are very rich and know how to spend it. They have united with the Libyan government and they are willing to pay to let us eradicate the slave transportation routes in Libya.
The Libyan government is also having a headache about this matter. After all, the video you just watched has been exposed by the news media. The slave trade in modern society is not positive news. The Libyan government is now in a confrontation with the opposition, and such a scandal has broken out, giving them a terrible headache. Therefore, if they also want to destroy this slave transportation route, they must at least make a sufficient gesture. So it hit it off, and because of our previous collaborations, they wanted us to do it. "
