Europe kills Africans by sinking boats: Qadaffy
Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffy has accused European states of killing hundreds of African migrants by deliberately sinking their boats to stop them reaching Europe.
Maybe they should stay in Senegal or Burkina Faso. Or Libya. | "This tragedy is unfolding. A war on the Mediterranean sea is being waged against Africans," Qadaffy told leaders of African trade unions he met in Tripoli late on Thursday.
The Libyan leader's remarks were carried by the Libyan state news agency Jana on Friday. It was the first time he had made such allegations and he did not name any country in particular. The European Union's executive Commission declined to comment.
