Rwanda offers refuge to enslaved Libya migrants Rwanda has offered to give refuge to about 30,000 Africans living in enslaved conditions in Libya. The government tweeted a foreign ministry statement last night saying the country was horrified by the images of the tragedy currently unfolding in Libya. Foreign Minister, Louise Mushikiwabo told newsmen that discussions are ongoing as to how to welcome migrants held captive. Last week, the African Union (AU) expressed outrage after some footage emerged showing sub-Saharan migrants being sold at slave markets in Libya. Migrants trying to reach Europe have confirmed being held by smugglers and forced to work for little or no money. The footage released by CNN appears to show youth from Niger and other sub-Saharan countries being sold for about 400 dollars at undisclosed locations in Libya. SOURCE: BBC NEWS ---DECRYPTED---
