Protests in Libya Lead to Mayor's House Burning in Flood Aftermath

The mayor's house in the Libyan city of Derna was set on fire during protests demanding answers for last week's devastating flood. The entire city council has been dismissed, internet and telephone access have been shut down, and journalists ordered to leave. Over 10,000 people are officially missing, with close to 4,000 deaths confirmed by the UN. Residents accuse officials of neglecting the dams and failing to warn them adequately. Libya's power struggles and poor dam maintenance, exacerbated by global warming, have turned extreme weather into a humanitarian disaster.
