Msus had been a site of several battles between Italian colonial forces and Libyan resistance fighters, like the one took place on March 3; 1914, between the latter (withdrawing from the Battle of Sceleildima) and the former.[2]

gollark: There are lots of cool applications now. Automatic generation of art, protein folding, human-level competitive programming, good OCR.
gollark: Ah, but it's *very complicated* curve fitting which can sometimes do interesting things.
gollark: Any particular improvement might not work, but I would be *very very surprised* if people several hundred years ago just happened to stumble on the optimal court system.
gollark: *An* issue is that sentencing can vary significantly based on judges' arbitrary opinions and how they are feeling. So maybe if you averaged over multiple judges once the facts of the case were determined it would help. Although there are a lot of ways for that to go wrong (messing with the framing of those and such).
