"On that day I was at my brother'€™s house in Tripoli getting ready for my nephew'€™s wedding. I was busy making cakes. The TV was always on as we were following the fighting so I quickly learned of the colonels death. For the first few minutes I didn'€™t know that this man, governor of our country for over 40 years, was dead. Then I felt terribly sad that he had been treated this way: dragged along, held up for all to see, I was disgusted. I would have preferred him to be arrested and made to stand trial. After hearing the news I couldn'€™t concentrate on the cakes anymore."
