In an article published April 12, 2017 in International Business Times, Brendan Cole reports that people are being openly sold in slave markets in Libya as they try to leave Africa and cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe.
Here's the article:

Is this part of a larger operation?
Who are the "buyers"?
How is this allowed to go on?
Cui bono?

It is hard to learn anything about Libya because Carlos Slim owns the most famous newspaper. His family is from the fascist(Christian) Kataeb Phalangist party and his wife a part of the dynasty of the Libyan socialist party. The freaky thing is that the Phalangists have decided to make nice with the trafficking Hezbollah all of a sudden.
Libya doesn't release any info on human trafficking so it is hard to even get an idea of problem.
