麻豆社

Tha Iain Moireasdan a' c貌mhradh ri M矛cheal Bochanan mu dheidhinn ar-a-mach Libia ann an 2011 - tachartas a chuir crioch air riaghladh an C貌irneal Muammar Gaddafi. 'S e fear-naidheachd dhan BhBC a th' ann am M矛cheal agus bha e ag aithris air an t-sabaid san d霉thaich 's a Mh脿rt, faisg air toiseach an ar-a-mach.

Ann am Benghazi, chunnaic e cho misneachail 's a bha na reubaltaich 脿s d猫idh dhaibh am baile a shaoradh bho smachd Gaddafi. Ach 's e suidheachadh cunnartach, mi-rianail a bh' ann cuideachd le m貌ran a' l脿imhseachadh gunnaichean is armachd nach b' aithne dhaibh a chleachdadh. Tha M矛cheal cuideachd ag innse cho faisg 's a th脿inig a' chunnart air fh猫in nuair a chaidh boma-l脿imhe a leigeil dheth san taigh-貌sda anns an robh e a' fuireach -ach gu fortanach cha deach a le貌n.

John Morrison interviews guests who witnessed major world events. In this episode, John talks to Michael Buchanan about the Libyan Revolution of 2011, an event which brought the rule of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi to an end.

Michael was reporting from Libya for the 麻豆社 at the time and witnessed much of the turmoil in and around the second city of Benghazi, where he saw how jubilant people were after freeing the city from Gaddafi's control. However, it was a dangerous and difficult environment to work in, with frontlines constantly changing and rebels handling guns and ammunition which they hadn't been trained to use. Michael recounts an incident where he himself faced danger when a hand-grenade went off in his hotel - but he emerged unscathed.
