Ever wondered who owns all of those illegal quarries in #Lebanon?
Yep, a quarter of them are politicians, their extended family and associates. You can find all the names and locations in my latest paper for @Think_Triangle:

1.Updated and integrated view of #Lebanon's #Covid pandemic. This time with a feeble attempt to estimate the effective reproduction number (Re). The only good news is that #Facebook movement data show the largest ever reduction in users' movement - more than the first lockdown.
