It was just two weeks ago. On November 14, CNN broadcast published a shocking report shot in Libya. Refugees and migrants were sold as slaves for a bunch of money. The video sparked a wave of indignation to the highest level, even up to Emmanuel Macron who called these acts a "crime against humanity".

One of the victims of this barbarity, a migrant from Cameroon forced into slavery while in Libya, managed to buy his freedom and cross the Mediterranean at the risk of his life. He has lived in France, with one of his relatives, for almost a year now. This sans-papiers tells his story to Franceinfo to make the reality of the situation in Libya known.
