  • Zuwara, Libya’s Amazigh city, has long been a transit point for migrants to Europe. Local activists cite pressure on services and crime, and have pushed a legal campaign urging landlords to stop renting to undocumented migrants, emptying an old city that once housed about 20,000, now being turned into a cultural centre.

    Unfortunately they drown on the way to Europe, if they cross they are de materialized by the border guards. If they survive, they are mistreated by the humans until their deportation. It is a normal thing.
