Earthen construction is located across Libya, particularly in desert and pre-desert zones where climate and material availability make it a practical choice. It is predominantly concentrated in the hyper-arid Fezzan region. @UNESCO
An ancient city was discovered in the Sahara Desert with satellite imagery.

It is just horror after horror after horror.
Remember these precious and beautiful lives. They are human beings with names and faces. And they are being indiscriminately slaughtered.
What unconscionable inhumanity. We need a ceasefire, now.
Two weeks ago, we marched in London for a ceasefire.
Last week, we marched for a ceasefire.
Today, we marched for a ceasefire.
This massacre has to end — we need a ceasefire, now.
There is now some talk about a potential 40-member committee designating yet another unelected #transitional govt for #Libya
What will incentivize it to make #elections actually happen in real life?
Also:
Which mechanisms will force Dabaiba to #quit influencing state affairs?

#الاستقرار هو رحيل كافة الاجسام ا��مستهلكة، ليحل محلها اختيارات منتخبة من الشعب الليبي. اي مبادرة لا تهدف للانتخابات هي مضيعة للوقت و مصادرة لحق الشعب الليبي في اختيار من يحكمه.

One of my favorite scientific figures is this one of the entropy levels of 100 world cities by the orientation of streets. The cities with most ordered streets: Chicago, Miami, & Minneapolis. Most disordered: Charlotte, Sao Paulo, Rome & Singapore. Paper: https://t.co/DTd5JiahmF
