On 27 August, Western Coast Military District Commander and Libyan Army Deputy CoS Salaheddin al-Namroush threatened to forcibly clear the roadblock at Abu Kammash (close to Ras Ajdir border crossing) using Libyan Army forces supported by combat drones. Subsequently, the Libyan Army forcibly cleared the blockade at around 8.30 pm.
Namroush was present while the barriers were removed. He announced that the Ras Ajdir border crossing is open, saying Abu Kammash is fully controlled by the Libyan Army. Travel to the border crossing is possible without any problems.
There were minor skirmishes between Libyan Army units from Zawiyya and militias from Zuwara near Abu Kammash. No drones were detected in the Abu Kammash area during this night.
The Supreme Council of the Amazigh declared a state of emergency in response to clashes with the Libyan army. According to the Council, the clashes near Abu Kammash were an attack on a civilian sit-in. They said the civilian population has had its honor and dignity violated by pro-government militias practicing all forms of terrorism and immoral practices, and the suppression of this civilian sit-in is considered militia terrorism and a prelude to a civil and racial war facing the Zuwara region.
On 29 August, the mayor of Zuwara Haji Idris Abu Ajaj called on the ‘Dabaiba militias’ to leave Ras Ajdir and Abu Kammash otherwise there would be a military escalation.
At the time of writing, traffic jams had returned at Ras Ajdir, but border crossing is passible as it was before the blockade of the road at Abu Kammash.
