Al Wigh is a small Saharan desert oasis airfield and army outpost in the Fezzan region of southwest Libya. It is about 975 kilometres south of the country's capital, Tripoli.[2]
The base was the site of several small confrontations in the Southern Libyan Desert campaign in the 2011 Libyan civil war between rebel anti-Gaddafi forces (mainly Toubou tribesmen) and loyalist pro-Gaddafi forces.
