Mass grave of refugees fleeing from Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia discovered in Ajdabia, Libya

A mass grave of 21 refugees fleeing from Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia have been discovered in Ajdabia, Libya.

David Yambio,  cofounder and spokesperson of

@refugeesinlibya announced this in a post  on the group’s platform.

The post reads: “Mass grave of refugees discovered in Ajdabia, Libya

Dear “civilised” Europe, when you exert exorbitant pressure on states like Libya to enforce your so-called migration “management” policies, the consequences are deadly, inhumane, unacceptable, and criminal.

“This morning, news from Ajdabia in eastern Libya, supported by visual evidence, reported the discovery of a mass grave in which at least 21 people were killed. They were vulnerable refugees fleeing from Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia. Your policies of blocking safe pathways also killed them.”

Yambio, in a follow –up post with a picture showing lifeless bodies, said “An image from the mass grave of 21 people in Ajdabiya. Their crime was crossing something called a border in pursuit of a dignified life. In the absence of safe and legal pathways, they were captured and enslaved by human traffickers who would later kill them en masse. The cycle has always been completed when Europe arms, funds, and legitimises those same actors who now operate as state authorities in Libya.”
