The images of Africans being auctioned on a market in Libya passed, and shocked, the whole world. Many African refugees fled to Libya in the hope to safely flee to Europe. But instead of going to Europe, they ended up in a cruel slave trade. This caused many reactions worldwide. Having lots of influence and popularity, celebrities raised awareness among their many followers by standing up against this inhumanity.
1. LL Cool J believes he has a solution.
The West, having a moral obligation towards Libya, should intervene and stop the slave trade.

I believe that gives the West the moral obligation to get this country back on a healthy footing. Remove the slave holders by force and help establish a stable leadership / Twitter”
