Nigerian Women Among Victim of Gang Rape by Libyan Rebels in Refugee Camps 

When the sun sets on the refugee camp for black Africans that has sprung up at the marina in this town six miles west of Tripoli, the women here brace for the worst.

The rebels who ring the camp suddenly open fire. Then they race into the camp, shouting "gabbour, gabbour" - Arabic for whore - and haul away young women, residents say.


"You should be here in the evening, when they come in firing their guns and taking people," one woman from Nigeria said Wednesday as she recounted the nightly raids on the camp. "They don't use condoms, they use whatever they can find," she said, pointing to a discarded plastic bag in a pile of trash. As she spoke, other women standing nearby nodded in agreement. 

Please these women need to come back home. Nigeria is not so bad that they'd rather be refugees in Libya than free souls in their country.
