#1 Killed during a mass prison break? In Libya? Who would have thunk it.

The article may have some truth but I detect a bias. It seems like illegal Somalis are creating a lot of problems where ever they go.

#2 Huh. That's two countries reported on Rantburg as having violent problems with Somalis.

Do I detect a pattern here?

(And yes, I know most non-black Africans are bigoted assholes against blacks. But somehow I doubt the Somalis were in jail just for their skin color.)

Black Africans aren't exactly fond of non-blacks either. After independence, most African countries turfed their non-black minorities, whether these were white or Asian.

#5 True, ZF. Didn't mean to leave the black Africans off the assholery list. There's plenty to go around. >:-(
