Tribe of people in Africa are the Bedouin.. you can watch a documentary called "stand in Sinai" on friday the 21st.

Look at the crazy pictures of traffickers melting plastic onto these refugees. Watch the Video on how these people are trying to stand up to the traffickers. These men and women are tortured and raped and if thet find someone to pay a ransom those who are raped are often killed

This is a quote from one of the Refugees
Another man from Eritrea also described his ordeal: "They chained our hands and legs together and hung us upside down and started hitting the bottom of our feet. They melted plastic on our skin and just kept constantly hitting us. And they told me, 'if you do not pay ($33,000), no one will come out of this alive.'"

The united states says they were taking measures to protect its citizens against angry protesters, the people of libya were upset because of a film they thought was offensive to Islams.
  Many protested at the US embassy and tore down the American flag.

Hilary Clinton also responded and was heartbroken she was very strong about her feelings about what happened, Libyas own general national conference also was against the attack.
