Geography edit

Jadu is located in the Nafusa Mountains,[2] twenty-five kilometers southwest of Tarmeisa (طرميسة, Ţarmīşah).[3]

History edit

Jadu was formerly the capital of the Nafusa Mountains District.[2]

Giado concentration camp edit

Giado, as it was then known by its Italian name, was the site of an Italian concentration camp during the Second World War.[4] In 1942, about 2,600 Jews [5] and other people, who were considered undesirables by Italians, were rounded up throughout Libya and sent to the Giado camp.[6] 564 died from typhus and other privations.[7] The camp was liberated by the British Army in January 1943.

Civil war edit

Jadu's council rejected the draft 2017 constitution.[8]

In April 2020, local Amazigh forces were bombed at the end of the Second Libyan Civil War.[9]
