Brega/ˈbreɪɡə/, also known as Mersa Brega or Marsa al-Brega (Arabic: مرسى البريقةMarsā al Burayqah, i.e. "Brega Seaport"), is a complex of several smaller towns, industry installations and education establishments situated in Libya on the Gulf of Sidra, the most southerly point of the Mediterranean Sea. It is located in the former Ajdabiya District, which in 2007 was merged into the Al Wahat District. The town is the center of Libya's second-largest hydro-carbon complex.[2]
During the First Libyan Civil War, the town quickly fell under control of the Libyan opposition.[3] Government forces attempted to capture the town on 2 March but were repelled;[4][5] their attack on 13 March was successful, though rebels later recaptured it on 26 March.[6][7] In April the rebels were again driven out of the Brega area,[8] and a several months long stalemate formed. On 11 August 2011, the rebels claimed they had retaken the eastern part of Brega.[9]
