Tripoli, December 25, 2025 – The Brega Oil Marketing Company participated today, Thursday, in intensive field inspection tours in cooperation with the Office of the Attorney General. The tours covered 17 industrial entities in the cities of Gharyan, Al-Asabia, and Yafran in the Nafusa Mountain region.
These intensive inspection tours aim to ensure compliance with legal procedures and protect the pillars of the national economy.
Brega’s role in this mission focused on providing technical and regulatory oversight. Its representative assessed institutional discipline and ensured operational alignment with standard controls. This reflects the integrated efforts between the state’s oil sector and its judicial authorities in monitoring violations and ensuring absolute transparency.
The tours concluded by emphasizing the pivotal role of “Brega” as a strategic partner in the oversight and governance system. The company transcends its service role to become a reliable guardian of the public interest and a catalyst for institutional integrity, which ensures the sustainability of resources under the umbrella of effective justice.
Tripoli
Tripoli is the capital and largest city of Libya, with a history dating back to the 7th century BC when it was founded by the Phoenicians. It later came under Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Ottoman, and Italian rule, which is reflected in its historic architecture, such as the Red Castle (Assaraya al-Hamra) and the old medina.
Brega Oil Marketing Company
The Brega Oil Marketing Company is a major Libyan state-owned enterprise responsible for the distribution and marketing of petroleum products domestically and internationally. It was established as a key subsidiary of the state’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) following the nationalization of Libya’s oil industry in the 1970s. The company plays a central role in the country’s hydrocarbon sector, managing fuel supply, storage, and retail networks.
Office of the Attorney General
The Office of the Attorney General is the chief legal advisor and law enforcement officer for a government, typically at the federal or national level. Its history often dates to the founding of a nation’s legal system, evolving from roles like the English Attorney-General to become a central figure in upholding the rule of law and representing the state in legal matters.
Gharyan
Gharyan is a historic city in northwestern Libya, renowned for its traditional underground and hillside cave dwellings that provided natural insulation from the region’s extreme temperatures. Historically, it served as a significant market and agricultural center, with its old town featuring distinctive Ottoman-era architecture and a fortress.
Al-Asabia
Al-Asabia refers to a concept in Arab and Islamic social philosophy rather than a physical place or cultural site. It denotes a sense of group solidarity, tribal loyalty, and social cohesion, famously analyzed by the 14th-century historian Ibn Khaldun in his work *Muqaddimah*. He argued that *asabiyya* was the fundamental binding force that enabled the rise and fall of dynasties and civilizations.
Yafran
Yafran is a historic town in northwestern Libya, traditionally known as a cultural and educational center for the Berber (Amazigh) people. It served as a significant hub along trans-Saharan trade routes and was a focal point during the 2011 Libyan civil war.
Nafusa Mountain
Nafusa Mountain is a rugged plateau region in northwestern Libya, historically inhabited by the indigenous Amazigh (Berber) people. It has served as a strategic and cultural stronghold for centuries, notably housing ancient hilltop villages and playing a significant role during the 2011 Libyan civil war as a rebel stronghold.
