Sudan Cities Shaped Like Animals

Lede of the Day:

The authorities in southern Sudan have unveiled a $10bn (£6.4bn) plan to rebuild the region’s cities in the shapes of animals and fruit.

The southern capital, Juba, is to be relocated and shaped like a rhinoceros, while Wau will become a giraffe whose neck will form the city’s main boulevard. Appropriately, the city sewerage treatment plant is to be located under the giraffe’s tail.
