Tripoli remains almost eerily quiet as Libya’s civil war rages on in much of the country. But short rants—sometimes misspelled, bearing all the hallmarks of having been sprayed hastily—cover the capital’s walls, which are alive with political comment. They spill across surfaces, occasionally seeping into the murals that appeared after the 2011 revolution, including carefully executed renditions of national hero Omar Mukhtar and caricatures of the country’s former dictator, Muammar al-Qaddafi.
