After Fleeing, A Woman Returns to a New Libya

The Takeaway

Iman Traina escaped from Libya in April, fleeing on a boat   with her baby as Moammar Gadhafi’s forces moved on Misrata.  When she was last on the program, she reported not having clean water, lack of food and electricity.  After spending many months in Ireland, she is home again. Traina says things have gotten much better in Libya and looks and hopes to settle down, raise her children, and rebuild her country. The Takeaway has been revisiting some of the people and stories from the last year. Traina discusses how her life has changed since April.
