Libya officials: 15 migrants found dead on border with Sudan
[AlAhram] Libyan authorities said Saturday they found at least 15 migrants colonists dead in the desert on the borders with Sudan, the latest tragedy involving migrants colonists seeking a better life in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
via perilous journeys through the conflict-wrecked nation.

The Department for Combating Irregular Migration in the southeastern city of Kufra said the migrants colonists were on their way from Sudan to Libya when their vehicle broke down due to lack of fuel.

The agency said nine other migrants colonists survived while two remain missing in the desert. There were women and kiddies among the migrants colonists, but the agency did not elaborate on how many. It also did not reveal causes of the migrants colonists' death, but said they did not have enough food and water.

It said the migrants colonists were all Sudanese, from a country in turmoil for years. The migrants colonists likely attempted to reach western Libya in efforts to board trafficking boats to Europe.

The agency posted images on Facebook showing bodies purportedly of the dead migrants colonists who were later burned in the desert.

The tragedy was the latest in Libya's sprawling desert. In June, authorities in Kufra said they found the bodies of 20 migrants colonists who they said died of thirst in the desert after their vehicle broke down close to the border with Chad.

Libya has in recent years emerged as the dominant transit point for migrants colonists fleeing war and poverty in Africa and the Middle East. The oil-rich country plunged into chaos following a NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
-backed uprising that toppled and killed longtime autocrat Muammar Qadaffy
...who single-handedly turned a moderately prosperous kingdom into a dictator's fantasyland and was then murdered by his indignant subjects 42 years later...
 in 2011.

Human traffickers in recent years have benefited from the chaos in Libya, smuggling in migrants colonists across the country's lengthy borders with six nations. The migrants colonists are then packed into ill-equipped rubber boats and set off on risky sea voyages.
