Many migrants and refugees choosing to stay in Libya

Libya is one of the main transit hubs for many African migrants and refugees trying to reach Europe by crossing the Mediterranean.
But some say they hope to find job opportunities and a stable income in the North African country.

Al Jazeera’s Malik Traina has more from Misrata, Libya.

I lived in Libya between 1996 -2001 and never for once thought of crossing the sea to Europe because I was making more than most immigrants in Europe.

Smart choice. He didn’t risk going to Europe at the cost of his life and is probably doing better in Libya than he would have in Europe.

It is better to stay in Libya if you have a good job, Europe is a shift hole high taxation, low income, unemployment, and under employment.

Look at Somalia now. Known for being war torn. Now Somalians in the West are moving back home after remittance money. Proud of them ❤

Unfortunately despite all these situations of hopelessness that make people to flee, instead of shaping atmosphere where people can hope, can feel they are not left behind, etc some people in this Africa have organised themselves in making destruction and deprivation a principle, they use to ruin lives.
Instead of humility so the common good can reach everyone, the common good is perceived and conceived as a private property of which many must suffer. Thus, life for many becomes a sort of condemnation.

Until NATO invaded Libya illegally and killed Gadaffi, it was an amazing country. If he had good relationship with Putin, he would have been still alive like Azad

Also, Aljazeera, I like your trivia surveys that you post in your Community section. Good fun and a good way to learn something new.

Liberals and leftists, both obsessed with no border no nation ideas, seem to have two options and they are both bad. 1) Pro-Migration policies drive more and more voters to the far right and 2) turning down migrants would be the by far most painful thing to do.

"Libya does not allow us to cross"

Its because they don't want to be used . 
If one succeed, then the entire Nigeria will flock to Libya, using it as a door mat - which in itself has its problems .

May God forgive us, and grant us understanding .

Let us as Africans GROW Africa! "The Scramble for Africa" has now become "The Scramble for Europe"
