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.
