Two people from Darfur held up in Tripoli and Masrata told Radio Dabanga that all people with brown or black skin in Libya have become targets for killing and looting by both rebels and regime supporters. Both witnesses denied categorically that any Sudanese or even any Africans are participating in the events in Libya. The men said that they are just workers who were driven by destiny to search for a livelihood in Libya. They appealed for the world to intervene to rescue them, saying they had nothing to do with what has happened in Libya.
