Misrata, Libya Returned to Normal but Signs of Uprising Remain

A little more than a year ago… the fighting in Libya was still raging.

Then came news of the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.

And his subsequent capture and death.

Reporter Marine Olivesi is a frequent contributor from Libya.

And she was the first western journalist to view Gaddafi’s corpse.

Olivesi came by our studios this week.

She told us about her surreal hunt to find the dictator’s remains on October 20, 2011.

Olivesi went back to Misrata a year later.

She said life there has pretty much returned to normal.

But you can see signs that people don’t want to forget what happened on the streets.
