Sarra Triangle

The Sarra Triangle, highlighted in red, and the surrounding countries with modern borders

The Sarra Triangle is a strip of land, today located in the Kufra District of Libya's Cyrenacian geographical subdivision. The strip of land was originally colonised by Britain and added to Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. In 1934 an agreement was struck between the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Italy, ceding the territory to the Italian colony in Libya.[1][2] The land is home to a minor oasis called Ma'tan as-Sarra.
