Playing For Peace In Libya

Eesam Agha is one of Libya's leading violinists. He hoped for a better future for his country, after the overthrow of Colonel Gaddafi. But Libya has descended into chaos, and he says no-one understands what is happening any more. He's now studying for a Master's degree in Paris, where he played his sad composition, 'Looking for Peace', to Newsday's Nuala McGovern and Lawrence Pollard.
