The Ajdabiya Revolutionaries Shura Council was a Libyan military coalition in Ajdabiya which was declared on 25 March 2015.[1] On 15 December 2015, despite protests from the Mayor of Ajdabiya,[3] the Libyan National Army began an offensive on Ajdabiya,[4][5] which resulted in the defeat of the Shura Council on 21 February 2016.[6]
The group has denied any ties to the Islamic State, despite its flag basically being the flag of ISIS but with inverted colors.[7]
