Horrified United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for immediate investigation into the “slave trade”.
“I am horrified at news reports and video footage showing African migrants in Libya reportedly being sold as slaves,” the Portuguese stated.
Taking to Twitter over the issue, President Akufo-Addo said it is mockery to the “solidarity” of the African Union for such act to take place in Libya, a member state.
The current slave auctions of Africans in Libya are not only gross and scandalous abuses of human rights, but are also mockeries of the alleged solidarity of African nations grouped in the African Union (AU), of which Libya is a member.
