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. The land is home to a minor oasis called Ma'tan as-Sarra.
