Speaking to the Freedom Newspaper, Lamin Khan, a Gambian based in Germany, said he received a phone call from one of the escaped migrants, one Sarahule man, who goes with the first name Omaro. Mr. Khan said Omar explained to him, how the ISIS terrorists raided the slum and executed the migrants—numbering over three hundred of them. Omaro, he said, was able to secretly photograph the execution of the migrants by the ISIS terrorists. Khan also said the ISIS flag was displayed during the execution of the migrants.

“This is too stressful. They killed a lot of people, including Gambian migrants. The man speaking on the audio is Omaro. He is speaking in the Sarahule dialect,” Mr. Lamin Khan told the Freedom Newspaper.

“We are still trying to gather more information in regards to the ISIS execution of the migrants in Libya. I tried calling Omaro, but his cellular phone is off. Their phones are off at this hour. I will send you any information I receive from the survivors of the terrorist attack,” Mr. Khan said in a Viber message to this paper.

According to Mr. Khan, there is no exact figure about the number of Gambians killed during the ISIS New Year strike in Libya. He added that based on the information he gathered from one of the survivors Omaro, a good number of Gambian migrants were killed. Mr. Khan said Omaro’s brother is his roommate in Germany. He said he is devastated by the incident.

1. Rich people recreate fundamentalism as a way to undo

democracy and undo the resulting middle class, so the rich can have more power. A few of the fundamentalists then go nutters and kill innocents in religion's name. A very old story and a current one. What a colossal waste of humanity.

5. What?

Please explain how you get to blaming "rich people" for a massacre by ISIS.

This place is off the rails. This is why people don't trust progressives on national security. It's not ALL about class struggle.

6. The Saudis created wahabbism in the middle east

to stave off Democracy and human rights with fundamentalism. That is one reason for ISIS breaking out all over the middle east. Same places where Saudis set up religious schools. Have you not noticed Arab Springers' voices being drowned out by the religiously fervent ISIS followers. For sure ISIS is not islam.The Saudis didn't want moderate Muslims fighting for human rights in the middle east. So they recreated fundamentalists instead. And now 300 innocent people murdered all for the false banner of radical Islam. Fallout from the Saudi Royals not wanting to face democracy, civil and human rights, and income taxes going into the future. And not wanting it in other middle east nations either. An Arab Springer, a shite cleric, was executed by the Saudis today. Legal under their rule. Not considered a massacre. Will the Saudis temper their religion and religious schools? It doesn't look like it. And the middle east will remain ungovernable and a hell hole. See why I'm mad now?

7. What class struggle?

I don't see people even bothering to vote. I think we sank way below class struggle. As far as the rich comment, it was an oversimplification. It would be more astute to say unbridled capitalism is part of the reason for the rise of these weirdos like ISIS/ISIL. Since capitalism knows no ethics, morals or understanding, it just takes what it wants at any cost. In the case of ISIS/ISIL, it has put more money and weapons in the hands of complete crazies. Part of that reason was our gluttony for oil. But capitalism delivered without regard as to the later consequences. I would approach the subject from that perspective.

3. Just so you know that picture is from the Camp Speicher massacre.

Where ISIS killed 1,500 or so Iraqi's in Salahuddin. I saw many videos of this massacre and it's ISIS's finest achievements, often used in their propaganda videos against the west.

4. Thanks. I will remove pic

8. We are in a new era of genocide.

The PNAC regime change policy has continued with a vengeance bringing chaos and terrorism and wiping out of minorities wherever it touched.

[Chakab]

9. Black/Arab tensions in Africa started long before the PNAC. Even if ISIS didn't exist, this kind of

shit would still be going on there.

[CJCRANE]

10. No it wouldn't. Gadaffi was a Pan Africanist. Black Africans were not slaughtered like this when

he was in power. They were accepted. Just as Christians were accepted by Saddam and are accepted by Assad.

The toppling of Gadaffi, then transferring his arsenal to the rebels in Syria has unleashed chaos and genocide on the region.

[ellenrr]

11. absolutely-- and I think Libya today is a lawless state?

[CJCRANE]

13. Lawless yes, but it isn't a state anymore. It has two competing governments: one is islamist

the other is extreme islamist.

[ellenrr]

15. everywhere the US goes, destruction follows. I didn't like Ghaddafi,

but back in the '80's I knew a Libyan person who lived in the US, and frequently visited Libya, where he had family and connections.
It was peaceful and prosperous, and if memory serves, had high rate of literacy.

[polly7]

14. Exactly, and most of the members of IS in Syria have been said to be recruited from Libya.

When the thousands of African migrants (Gaddafi paid mercenaries!, we were told) who had been living and working in Libya for decades and during that 'we came, we saw, we died, lol' atrocity were raped, murdered and hung in the streets by the 'friendly rebels' - all known to anyone listening to HRW and Amnesty Int'l, it never even made the news then - the mission had to be completed. It still disgusts me.

12. I wonder if a former Secretary of State still approves of...

We came, we saw, he died. Now many others are dying too.

16. well, it can't be because of our invasion, because it wasn't Dumbya doing the invading!
