The video began with a group of men, believed to be migrants or refugees, being forced to dig their own graves. They were then beaten and whipped with cables and rifle butts, before being shot in the head or neck. The execution-style killings were carried out in a matter of minutes, with the victims being thrown into the graves they had dug moments earlier.

The Libyan government, which had been struggling to cope with the influx of migrants and refugees fleeing conflict and poverty in Africa, denied any involvement in the massacre. However, the government did acknowledge that the video was filmed on Libyan territory and promised to investigate the incident.

The United Nations and human rights organizations continued to pressure the Libyan government to hold those responsible for the massacre accountable. In 2017, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution calling for an investigation into human rights abuses in Libya, including the Mandingo Massacre.

The video sparked immediate outrage, with many describing it as "graphic" and "disturbing." Human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and the United Nations, condemned the killings and called for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the massacre.

In the years since the Mandingo Massacre video emerged, there have been several developments in the case. In 2017, several reports emerged indicating that the Libyan government had made progress in investigating the incident. However, many questions remained unanswered, including the true identity of Jules Jordan and his role in the creation and dissemination of the video.
