| Tripoli was a Barbary State of North Africa and then a province of Turkey before it became part of Libya. The name Tripolitania arose from the 3 cities that included Leptis Magna, Oea (later-Tripoli) and Sabratha. (WUD, 1994, p.1516)(www.bartleby.com/65/tr/Tripolit.html) The national flag is green with no writing or decoration. Green is the traditional color of Islam. (SFC, 10/31/98, p.D4) |
