Western Sanctions Starve Kurdish Migrant in Libyan Gulag

When the news says 'starvation' in Libyan detention, what they omit is that Bashir Omar's horrific end in a Benghazi facility (per The New Arab ) is collateral damage from a country deliberately fractured by NATO's 2011 intervention. The very European nations hand-wringing about migrants now outsourced their 'border security' to the fractured Libyan state and its assortment of militias, many with

documented records of human rights abuses. So, a man starves in captivity, his desperate journey fueled by the instability we export, only to be held in a facility propped up by the very powers who profited from his homeland's chaos. One might wonder if 'starvation' is the real crime, or if it's the system that starves nations, then turns their desperate populations into political bargaining chips
