Overthrow of the Qarmatians
War between the Qarmatians & Seljuk Supported Uyunids / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Overthrow of the Qarmatians was an armed uprising by the Seljuk and Abbasid supported Uyunids against the ruling Qarmatian state. A local chief known as Abdullah bin Ali Al Uyuni aligned himself with the Abbasids and the Seljuk Empire,[1] and started an uprising with their support. Due to support from more powerful foreign powers, the Uyunids successfully revolted and liberated Eastern Arabia,[2] which significantly shifted the power dynamic of Eastern Arabia.
