Sebhā (English spelling)

Japanese: セブハー(英語表記)Sebhā
Sebhā (English spelling)
An oasis city in the desert of southwestern Libya, it is the capital of Fezzan Province. It has a population of 28,714 (1973). With its fertile oasis, it has long been a stopover on the caravan route connecting Tripoli with the African interior. Since the late 19th century, it has also been a base for the Sanusi national liberation movement. In March 1977, after the Libyan Revolution, the Declaration of Popular Sovereignty was adopted here, and the city was designated a priority development area for the unification of Libya, overcoming its backwardness. Heavy chemical industry, handicraft industry, and housing construction projects have been undertaken, and Sebha is now one of the important economic and cultural centers of Libya.
