AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

---VOICEOVER---
Eid Al Adha or the ‘Feast Of Sacrifice’, a celebration in the Muslim calendar when friends and families feast on sheep slaughtered in a ritual inspired by Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son to God.

---VOICEOVER CONT---
Many have reported that money has been an issue for families to buy sheep, yes prices are inflated but yet markets are full and most people I have spoken to say this is not a major problem.

“We try to help people who don’t have the right amount of money, there is always something we can do.”
---VOICEOVER---
The night before Eid was to start, in an effort to help others prepare for the Eid celebration lasting 3 days, an NTC Head Quarters here in Tripoli was apparently given money by undisclosed Libyan charities, causing queues of hopeful people, each waiting to receive 150 Libyan dinars.
(pause)
---VOICEOVER CONT---
Life in Tripoli eases on without Muammar Qadhafi and his regime, everything else now becomes a time of firsts, feeling life without oppression including traditional Muslim celebrations.

“Eid this year, it has a special flavour, it feels different than previous ones. We’re living in freedom, a life with democracy, we feel more relaxed, its much much different.”
---VOICEOVER---
EID is a celebration highlighting unity, sacrifice and forgiveness between Muslims. The revolution affected the economy, people working, importing of goods, but all this will not affect the people of Libya sharing and providing for each other on this traditional celebration.
---SOUNDBITE--- (ARABIC W/ ENG VO)
(Length 19 Secs)
“We as Muslims, under all conditions, good or bad, normally have unity among all people. If people are in need or not, they will have the chance to taste other people’s peace offering.”
