Note: t-aph274a2APH 274t-aph274a3APH 274The town of Ajdabiya was revived by the Ottomans to serve as a minor administrative centre for western Cyrenaica. It became an important centre for the Senussi movement in the early 20th century and became the capital of an autonomous Senussi-ruled region between 1920 and 1923 under the terms of an accord with Italy, which had occupied Libya from 1911. In April 1923, however, the accord broke down and the Italians seized Ajdabiya, turning it into an important military outpost. General Latinis actions against rebels after the war with Turkey is mentioned in Mohamed Fekini and the Fight to Free Libya by Angelo De Boca.
