The Ajdabiya Revolutionaries Shura Council was a Libyan armed coalition active in the city of Ajdabiya. It was declared on 25 March 2015.[2] The group opposed the Libyan National Army (LNA), led by Khalifa Haftar, during the Second Libyan Civil War.
On 15 December 2015, the LNA launched a military offensive in Ajdabiya despite objections from the city's mayor,[3] initiating clashes with the Shura Council and its allies.[4][5] The fighting ended with the defeat of the Council on 21 February 2016.[6]
The Council denied any ties to the Islamic State, despite purportedly using a flag with inverted colors resembling the flag of ISIS.[7][8]
