Burkina Faso's foreign minister said on Monday it had recalled its ambassador to Libya over a report that black African migrants were being auctioned as slaves there. Libya's ambassador to Burkina Faso said his country was being unfairly blamed for a global problem that all nations affected must come together to solve. "The president of Burkina Faso has decided to recall the ambassador to Tripoli, General Abraham Traore, for a consultation," Barry said. In a news conference on Wednesday, Libya's ambassador to Burkina Faso, Abdul Rahman Khameda, appealed for help from both the European Union and African Union to help Libya reach a lasting resolution of the migrant crisis. "We call on the international community to intensify efforts to help Libya cope with this danger (illicit migration), which is tearing at its social fabric."
