Emirate of Algiers
Emirate of Thâalibi that ruled Algiers / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Emirate of Algiers[8][9] was an emirate founded by the Thâaliba[10][11][12] after the weakening of the central authority of the Banu Ziyan state, and the negative impact on the situation in Algeria,[13] which was divided into small, disjointed emirates, such as the Emirate of Jebel Kuku in the Kabylia region, the Emirate of the Zouaoua in Hodna and Zab, the Emirate of the Beni Jelab in Touggourt and Wadi Righ, and the Emirate of the Beni Mezzoug in Noufique on the western border, and the kingdom ended by turning into the Ottoman state.[14]
