Msus or Zawiyat Msus (Arabic: زاوية مسوس), also Masous is a village in eastern Libya located 130km (80miles) southeast of Benghazi, and 80km (50miles) from Suluq on the same direction.[1] There is another road linking her with Charruba (about 69km (43miles) to the north).
Msus was a site of several battles between Italian colonial forces and Libyan resistance fighters, such as the one that took place on March3, 1914, after the Battle of Sceleildima.[2]
