Description
Young Libyans demonstrate their skills in skateboarding at the first ever dedicated park in their conflict-battered capital, funded by the US embassy in Tripoli. "I'm really happy, because before there wasn't a dedicated place for skating", says high school student Rayan al-Omar about the newly-opened park, which has become an outlet for her generation that was deprived of means of entertainment for over a decade.
