Utter destruction, not in Aleppo -- it’s in Libya’s Sirte
2016-12-31
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] While the world places its full attention at the destruction in Syria’s Aleppo, another Middle Eastern city has faced just as much destruction and violence.

While Syrian and Russian forces recaptured Aleppo and Iraqi forces, along with a coalition of multiple countries, try to liberate djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, Libya’s Sirte has been left in ruins after ISIS were driven out.

Fighting continues to be fierce in the coastal city that witnessed the death of longtime ruler Muammar Qadaffy
...a reminder that a single man with an idea can change an entire nation, usually for the worse...
Sirte was known to be Qadaffy’s favored city, where his grandfather once led an significant battle against Italian occupation. In 1999, Qadaffy himself announced the "birth of the African union".

Today, little remains of the city but rubble.
