Wadi al Ahmar

Wadi-al-Ahmar, also known as Wadi-al-Hamra, is a place in Libya's Sirte District. In English, its name translates to "the red valley". Wadi-al-Ahmar is located just over 100km east of Sirte,[1] the hometown of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and the capital of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya remnants.

The National Transitional Council claimed its forces took control of the area on 8 September 2011, nearly two weeks after the fall of Tripoli.[2]
