The ''Baladiyah'' (singular), or ''baladiyat'' (plural), is the intended second-level administration subdivision of Libya being reintroduced in 2012 by the General National Congress with Law 59 on the system of local administration, dividing the country into governorates (''muhafazat'') and districts (''baladiyat''), with baladiyah having local councils. As the proposed governorates have not been created, the 22 districts continue to serve as the primary administrative divisions of Libya. ''Baladiyah'' is an Arabic word used in many Arab countries to denote administrative divisions of a country. History Baladiyat were first introduced in Libya in 1983 to replace the governorate system. The ten existing governorates were replaced with forty-six baladiyat, but in 1988 that number was reduced to twenty-five baladiyat. In 1995 they were replaced by '' shabiyat''.

Jalu
Jalu, Jallow, or Gialo () is a town in the Al Wahat District in northeastern Libya in the Jalo oasis. Jalu serves as both an oasis and the principal urban center of the oases region in eastern Libya. Jalu was one of the homelands of the Indigenous Toubou (Goran) people, was abandoned following an Arab invasion around the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This invasion was supported by Ottoman firearms and troops, and since then, the oasis has been controlled by the Majabra Arab tribes. The name “Jalu” derives from the Tabou word ''Jolo'', meaning “lowland,” highlighting the enduring Indigenous linguistic heritage of the oasis.Wahli, S. H. (2022, October 7).

Al Wahat District
Al Wahat or The Oases ( ', ), occasionally spelt ''Al Wahad'' or ''Al Wahah'' () is one of the districts of Libya.''Statesman's Yearbook 2006'' Its capital and largest city is Ajdabiya. The district is home to much of Libya's petroleum extraction economic activity. History Traditionally, Al Wahat was the western part of Cyrenaica. With the division of Libya into ten governorates in 1963, Al Wahat became part of the Misrata Governorate. In the 1973 reorganization, it became part of Al Khalji Governorate. In 1983, Al Khalji was divided into a number of baladiyat (districts), with what is now Al Wahat being included in the Ajdabiya baladiyah and the Jalu baladiyah. In the 1988 reorganization, Jalu was subsumed within Ajdabiya baladiyah.
