Gaddafi's corpse in display
Murky clouds linger on over Libya due to a lack of consensus on how to deal with the corpse of fallen leader Muammar Gaddafi, as the country is set to announce its "liberation" and subsequently its interim leadership.
Hundreds of citizens in Misrata, want to have a glimpse of the country' s top man in the past four decades.
Queuing outside a marketplace some are taking their children alongside, while almost everyone is having a video camera in their cellphones standby before they are allowed group by group into a huge commercial freezer in which the bodies of Gaddafi and his son Mutassim are stored, prevented from perishing. His blank and lifeless eyes speak enormously of the disgraceful fall from splendor and glory. Burial is still out of sight, as the leadership of the ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) is perplexed by not only the way and location of the burial, but also managerial issues.
It's certainly not the way we do things. A stronghold of 42 years over Libya comes to a tragic end.
