Negrophobia in the Maghreb and Libya: the neo-barbarism of the 21st century

After having enslaved the African peoples, devitalized them by pillaging them and appointing permanent potentates who perpetuate shameless neo-colonialism, Fortress Europe, under pressure from populist elites on the right and left, is barricading itself in, preventing these "human wrecks" from accessing the supermarket, or what's left of it. The solution is always the same: Reinforce the tracking system, and at the same time announce with great media fanfare the leniency of the West, which is partly responsible for the misfortune of its exhausted "southerners". Western policy is always the great divide: it starts with human rights and ends with the slave market. Some may dress it up in humanist or revolutionary rhetoric, but imperialism is still imperialism. Hypocrites will say that slavery is nothing new and that this is an African affair, denying the responsibility of neo-colonialism. Driven by poverty, hundreds of thousands of Africans risk their lives to cross the Mediterranean.
