@invincible.chaoui: The great Zirid Dynasty 🇩🇿🏴 The Zirids (in Berber : ⴰⵜ ⵣⵉⵔⵉ Ath-Ziri ; in Arabic الزيريون az-Zīrīyūn or بنو زيري banū Zīrī ) were a Sanhaja Berber dynasty that ruled in North Africa, originating from the central Maghreb ( Algeria ). They episodically controlled a large part of the Maghreb between 972 and 1014 and ruled over Ifriqiya until 1148. Descendants of Ziri ibn Menad , a military leader who joined the Fatimids and gave his name to the dynasty, the Zirids were a line of emirs who ruled in the name of the Fatimid caliphs based in Egypt . In practice, they strengthened their independence until they officially broke with the Fatimids from the mid- 11th century onwards. Passing power down through hereditary succession, they thus constituted a true dynasty. This was the first dynasty of Berber origin in the medieval period of the Maghreb; it paved the way for a period in Maghreb history in which political power would be held by Berber dynasties ( Almoravids , Almohads , Zianids , Marinids , and Hafsids ) [ 4 ] . Pushing their campaigns as far as Fez and the north of the Maghreb al-Aqsa in 980 , they encountered resistance from the Zenata who pledged allegiance to the Caliphate of Cordoba [ 5 ] , [ 6 ] , [ 7 ] , [ 8 ] . #algeria #pourtoi #foryou #🇩🇿
