A woman from Cameroon sits with her baby in a private shelter in Lagos, Nigeria. When she was eight months pregnant, she was allowed to leave Libya on a flight organized by IOM and the Nigerian government, as humanitarian workers feared for her safety and that of the unborn baby. She told Time magazine, “The Libyans understood that if the EU doesn’t want blacks to come, it means we are not valuable as humans…The EU is essentially rewarding these militias for abusing us, for raping us, for killing us and for selling us.” March 2018.
