The 2011 Ras Ajdir clashes were a series of skirmishes between rebel anti-Gaddafi forces and loyalist pro-Gaddafi forces for an important Libya–Tunisia border post in Libya's extreme northwest.[1][2]
The post had been a key loyalist supply line to the capital, Tripoli,[3] but ceased to be so after the rebels recaptured the town of Zawiya and the highway running through it.
