The Ibadi Imamate of Tripoli was an early Islamic state established in 757 AD by Abu al-Khattab al-Ma'afiri, who led a revolt against the Abbasid Caliphate and founded a short-lived independent Imamate centered in Tripoli, Libya. The state expanded to include the Central Maghreb and Fezzan, after local tribes pledged allegiance to Abu al-Khattab.^[4] Abu al-Khattab conquered Warjūma and captured Kairouan,^[5] then fought the Abbasids in Maghdamas and Sirte.^[6] He succeeded in taking Barqa. The governor of Kairouan and the Central Maghreb was Abd al-Rahman ibn Rustam,^[7] while Zuwila and Waddan were governed by Abdullah ibn Hayyan.^[8] In 771, Abu Hatim al-Malzūzī besieged Kairouan, governed by the Abbasid Omar ibn Hafs. The siege caused famine and desperation, pushing many residents to join the Ibadis. Omar ibn Hafs left Tobna to defend Kairouan but was defeated and killed during the battle in Dhu al-Hijjah 771. When Yazid ibn Hatim approached, Abu Hatim retreated to Tripoli, then to the Nafusa Mountains. Despite initially defeating Yazid's vanguard under Salim ibn Suwad al-Tamimi at Maghdamas, Yazid personally led his forces across the Ibadi trenches. The armies clashed until Yazid emerged victorious, killing Abu Hatim and around 30,000 Ibadis. The Abbasids pursued and suppressed the remaining Ibadi forces, ending the Ibadi Imamate of Tripoli. It is considered one of the earliest Islamic states in Africa and Libya.^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]
