Chapter 3371: Slave trade

When this mission was over, Lin Rui was also relieved. Regardless of the fact that this type of guard mission was not that dangerous compared with other missions with real swords and guns. But in fact, this puts a considerable test on one's spirit. Not only must there be careful thinking, but also the spirit to face strong pressure. Lin Rui himself felt that this task was actually tiring enough.
After the mission is over. Lin Rui led the team back to Niger's foothold and took a short break. Silver Wolf and Black Panther Goulei found them after they rested for about a week.
"How is it?" Silver Wolf looked at Lin Rui and said, "Is it almost recovered?"
"No one was injured in this mission, and I just received a little bump and bruises. The problem is not big." Lin Rui nodded, "Usually you are looking for me in such a hurry. There must be something special, right? What's the problem? What about his mission?"
Black Panther Gure said with a smile, "Couldn't we come to see you without a mission? I heard that this time you made a splash and beat the French president's bodyguards."
"Let’s do this one less." Lin Rui said with a smile, "If Silver Wolf came to see me, it might be possible. After all, he is the boss and it’s normal to care about the employees. But I saw you appear, basically It’s already been confirmed on the previous page. There must be something. Think about yourself. Every time you ask me, there must be some trouble."
Silver Wolf also smiled and shook his head, "You have wronged him this time. He came with me. I am the one who really troubles you."
"Are there any tasks?" Lin Rui frowned.
Silver Wolf nodded, "What do you think of your African slave?"
"African black slave?" Lin Rui frowned. "This seems to be something in the history book, right?"
"What if I told you that such a thing still exists?" Silver Wolf asked Black Panther Gulei to turn on the mobile computer, and a video was playing on it. A group of people gathered on the video, "Does anyone need an excavator? This is an excavator, a strong man, he can excavate." An auctioneer shouted.
"500, 550, 600, 650..." As the price changes, buyers keep raising their hands. In just a few minutes, everything was over, and the black man who had succumbed to his fate was handed over to his "new master." More will follow, not just adult men, but also women and children. Everyone was auctioned at a clear price.
"What is this?" Lin Rui said in surprise.
"Last month, this slave auction in Libya. You read it right or heard it right, it's slaves. Someone is doing a lot of slave trading." Silver Wolf sighed.
"There is such a blatant slave trade in modern society?" Lin Rui frowned. He has been in Africa for a long time and is used to seeing all kinds of messy things, but he always thinks that the slave trade is already a very long memory of Africa. Unexpectedly, this extremely cruel thing is 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 each year, hoping to live a new life. But more people will never be able to reach Europe as they wish. It's a dangerous journey. 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 strikes carried out by the Libyan Coast Guard, more and more ships cannot go to sea, and these illegal immigrants who cannot go to Europe are usually imprisoned by human traffickers in Libya. When warehouses are overcrowded or illegal immigrants cannot pay the ransom Later, some people will be sold as slaves. About 400,000-1 million illegal immigrants may be trapped in Libya.
Here, they are suffering from unimaginable torture and psychological torture, and what awaits them is an unknown tomorrow and endless despair. Some people managed to escape from the devil's den, some were sold as slaves, and some disappeared forever. "
Panther Gure also nodded, "Libya is a hub for illegal African immigrants who want to go to European countries. Here you can take a rubber dinghy to cross the Mediterranean to Europe. In Libya, there are many traffickers posing as coast guards, police officers or taxis. The driver came to trap the victims and then sold them elsewhere.
One of these places is the Olumi Federation. It has a tropical climate, the main cash crops are cocoa and coffee, and the planting area accounts for 60% of the country's arable land. Many of the workers working there are child slaves, and these children are bought on the market by farmers at low prices. Every child has to work 12 to 15 hours a day, every day, they have no choice. Their price on the market is only worth the price of a cigarette. "
"Damn it." Crazy Horse shook his head. "This is really the worst thing I've ever heard."
Silver Wolf nodded, "The truth is that more people are now enslaved than at any time in history.'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, The organization's staff in Niger and Libya have reported in the past few weeks that there is a modern version of the "slave market" on the way African refugees go to Europe, and hundreds of young Africans are bought and sold like commodities.
Many refugees received by the organization reflect the existence of the "slave market", with refugees from West African countries such as Nigeria, Guinea, Ghana, and Gambia being the main victims. After the war, Libya was devastated and was unable to stop organized crime and provided a breeding ground for the "slave market." "
"Although it is regrettable, the international community is unable to stop this kind of thing. We can't help much. 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 they know how to spend. 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. 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 situation of confrontation with the opposition parties, and such a scandal broke out again, making them a terrible headache. So they also wanted to destroy this slave transportation route, at least they had to make enough gestures. So several aspects hit it off. In view of our previous cooperation, they wanted us to do this. "
