BENGHAZI, LIBYA--- Over the past seven years, Libya had become the battlefield for inhumane acts of radical Islamists.

Mass execution in this place apprehended by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorists became a regular practice.

Early this February, a video footage showing Libyan children reenacting and mimicking mass execution similar to that of the ISIS’ spread online.

In the footage, one child was acting as the “executioner” using a toy gun to shoot his kneeling “prisoners” in the head. The “executioner” was talking to the camera while walking beside the “prisoners” who held their hands on their heads.

Furthermore, the youngsters who played their roles as the “prisoners” will later fall on the ground as the “executioner” call them dog and shoots them continuously.

Moreover, because of the endless war in Libya, kids had become the collateral damage. Children were used as soldiers, some of them were abducted, and the others joined the fight to escape poverty and death.

Based on the footage posted by In the Now, most of the children growing up in places like Libya have never seen and known peace and majority of them had witnessed death, mass execution, and abuse that could lead to a life-long psychological trauma.
