Niger calls for aid for those fleeing Libya conflict

This article is about Nigeria's government had pleaded for help for 59,000 Africans that have fled Libya since February. The Libyan uprising against Col Muammar Gaddafi's rule has developed into an armed conflict pitting rebels against government forces and drawing in a Nato-led coalition with a UN mandate to protect civilians.

    I think the UN should be doing more to help all the refugees from Libya. It will be interesting to see what will happen to them or if neighboring countries will continue to let them live there.

    I think that Muammar Ghaddafi needs to step down because he is destroying Libya and its people. He needs to be forcibly removed because he reached a point that is just beyond belief. Many innocent civilians have died and continue to do as long as he continues to fight NATO. I think there should be more done to help the refugees because they are in a very bad situation right now and need all the help they can get. Hopefully this conflict will end soon and relieve everyone of their miseries.

    I agree with the students above, it is ridiculous to think of all of the suffering and terrible consequences that Gaddafi is bringing to his own people. Also, I agree that the UN should be the one responsible of helping all the refugees fleeing from Libya and do as much as it can to accommodate this people in the countries they have fled to, as well as ease some tensions that might arise in this difficult situation.

    I applaud Nigeria's government in taking such an action. I wish other countries, especially other Arab states were doing more to help those in Libya.

    I agree with the students but Qaddafi should be stopped, otherwise he will keep on ruining the lives of thousands of people. Those people are now moving to Nigeria with nothing, which means they will have to be supported by the Nigerian government.
