[QUOTE]Originally posted by typeZeiss: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] LIBYA population 6,422,772 2011 Source: World Bank ____________________________________ http://books.google.com/books?id=r01_GDIeTuUC&pg=PA408&dq=libya+indig 2003 Middle East Contemporary Survey, Volume 24 edited by Bruce Maddy-Weitzman [URL=http://www.ephotobay.com/share/picture-39-12.html] [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-39-12.png[/IMG][/URL] ^^^ "ONE MILLION INDIGENOUS BLACKS" population 2000 5.31 at 6 million, 1 million = about 17% (note the usage of the term 'indigenous blacks" is not clear as to if this 1 million figure means deep rooted indigenous people or simply long term residents, who in the above context are not the African migrant workers (another population) but are not pre historic either So without inidcating the ethnic group one cannot tell if the reference applies to a deep rooted Libyan tribe or some aspect of the claimed 1 million might include blacks who entered the region anytime post Islamic expansion into the Maghreb. Further documenation is necessary that would include tribal names. The above is about modern politics, neverthless in whatever sense 'indigenous blacks' is used here the claim is 1 million in 2003 which is far short of 50% [/qb][/QUOTE]This is stupid for a number of reasons. The most important reason being, I can say Denmark has 100,000 black people who have been there since 500BCE, doesn't make it credible. I would believe a government official of Libya over some non government official any day. How did this source you gave come up with their number? We know the Libyan government has a census, and they have no reason to lie about the number of blacks they have in that country. Your source and reasoning, as usual is deficient. [/QB][/QUOTE]
