Brega , also known as ''Mersa Brega'' or ''Marsa al-Brega'' ((アラビア語:مرسى البريقة) , 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.〔 During the Libyan Civil War, the town quickly fell under control of the Libyan opposition. Government forces attempted to capture the town on 2 March but were repelled;〔 their attack on 13 March was successful, though rebels later recaptured it on 26 March.〔http://blogs.aljazeera.net/live/africa/live-blog-libya-march-26〕〔p://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Video-Libyan-Rebels-Retake-Brega-And-Ajdabiyah-After-Gaddafi-Forces-Flee-Amid-Coalition-Airstrikes/Article/201103415960556?lpos=World_News_Top_Stories_Header_3&lid=ARTICLE_15960556_Video%3A_Libyan_Rebels_Retake_Brega_And_Ajdabiyah_After_Gaddafi_Forces_Flee_Amid_Coalition_Airstrikes_〕 In April the rebels were again driven out of the Brega area,〔http://www.cbc.ca/m/touch/news/story/2011/04/04/libya-us-nato-gadhafi.html Report from Canadian CBC of oppositions forces regaining New Brega in the beginning of April, specifying the division between the different parts of Brega.〕 and a several months long stalemate formed. On 11 August 2011, the rebels claimed to had retaken the eastern part of Brega.〔(Libyan rebels capture eastern part of Brega -spokesman )〕 == Geography == The assigned settlement near the refinery and oil terminal is known as Brega. The town was built in pre-fabricated concrete parts and designed by Greek architect and urban planner Konstantinos Apostolos Doxiadis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Constantinos A. Doxiadis Archives )〕 The town has about 7,000 inhabitants. In reality, Brega consists of several urban settlements, several kilometres apart, mainly divided between ''Old Brega'' (or "Western Brega") and ''New Brega'' (or "Eastern Brega"). Adjacent to and south-west of the port, equally two kilometres north of the airport, lies "Area 1". Some 6 kilometres to the east, on the other side of the hydro-carbon complex, lies "Area 2". The original settlement of Brega, now partly abandoned, lies some kilometres to the south, to the south of the highway linking western and eastern Libya.〔http://wikimapia.org/#lat=30.4315057&lon=19.6593475&z=12&l=53&m=b&v=8〕 10 kilometres to the north-east of "Area 2" lies ''New Brega'', a new settlement specifically built as a housing area for oil workers. In between "Area 2" and ''New Brega'' (with lots of sand in between them) lies ''Al-Najm University of Technology'' ("Bright Star University of Technology"), which was founded in 1981.〔http://www.university-directory.eu/Libya/Bright-Star-University-of-Technology-Brega.html〕〔http://wikimapia.org/2062806/Bright-Star-University-of-Technology-جامعة-النجم-الساطع〕 Brega lies surrounded by the Sabkhat Ghuzayyil a large dry region below sea level. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brega」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
