Once fruitful, Libyan village suffers climate crisis


Kabaw (Libya) (AFP) – Once flourishing and known for its figs, olives, and almonds, fields around Kabaw are now mostly barren and battered by climate change-induced drought, pushing villagers to foresake lands and livestock. “Most people have left this region and migrated to the capital Tripoli,” explains the village mayor Mourad Makhlouf.
