This is what a reporter should be. We need cnn to air more in-depth reports on the real world and less of the reality TV. She got a few minutes on screen to speak of this issue but we are on week 3 of "The Kennedy's". #thankyoutrevor

What an amazingly brave woman. A true inspiration.

No human being should endure any source of pain perpetrated by another human. This is our time, this is for our future, every young boy and girl regardless of sex, religious beliefs, race should fight for a future better than the one we're at.

Finally there is national coverage of this

[rockinrobin]

OMG!! I Nima!! She's so underrated.

[drdebbie]

Thank you, Trevor, for bringing guests on your show that bring awareness of serious issues that get lost....or never brought to light. I’d like to know how I can follow Nima on twitter

[superneko]

What she's talking about is so important and terrible and there are still dudes in the comments talking about her being hot. Wtf.

Vietnam was "mistake", Iraq was "mistake", Libya was "mistake", Afghanistan is an ongoing "mistake". When will this "mistake" be unleashed on USA?

[bvovz]

Trevor: Why is this happening in Libya?
Correct answer: The USA bombed the hell out of it for oil and purposely (together with NATO) didn't put a 'stabilisation effort' as it would be a convenient way to get cheap oil. Let's not forget that Libya was the only African nation without debt prior to Gaddafi's termination by the elites.

Trevor Noah, thank you SO MUCH for bringing America's attention to international issues like this!

[Palmieres]

I understand the subject here is very serious, and I'm glad it's being reported, but all the time I was watching this I just kept thinking I want her to record audiobooks. The tone of her voice is so pleasant.

[joeficenttvreactions]

I have been watching this woman on CNN for a long time. She's really good at her job. She's beautiful and speaks so well. I love her voice. Thank you Nima for all you do.

Before the US intervention Libya had the longest life expectancy in Africa. Now it has one of the shortest life expectancies in Africa.
Amazing that the same people who apologized for Iraq (Hillary CLinton for example) were championing the Libya war.

Well done!

[shashee]

We heard briefly about the horrific journey these girls endure. What happens to them when they reach their destinations? Forgive my ignorance, but I'd like to know more.

You guys Talking like in libya you can go to the mall and buy one of them
Im libyan and i haven't seen or heard about slavery in libya
Which doesn't mean that it doesn't exist
But you can think of it like Americans and Guantanamo you didn't knew it exists and then you know about it and done nothing
So before throwing shit on other people you should look under your feet

[bib_miiro]

Once a richest country in African became a home of slavery.... That's why I dislike wars..
Libya under Gaddafi helped other poor African countries a lot . OMG.

[SuperMegawoman]

Trevor, please, please have more guests like her on your show.

[getsglobalengineering]

Barrack Obama's gift to Africa !!!

[glaudiam]

The grapevine YouTube channel held a panel about the slave trade, visit their channel if you are open to seeing through a different lens or want a more extensive discussion

"this isnt going to happen to me" The age range when most are preyed on is during a peak period of this kind of thinking
