The Abbasid conquest of Ifriqiya was an armed campaign in 761 against Kharijite Ibadites in Ifriqiya (present-day Tunisia, eastern Algeria and Tripolitania) led by Muhammad ibn al-Ash'ath al-Khuza'i on behalf of the Abbasid Caliphate. By the end of the campaign, the Abbasids brought the political domination of the Ibadites in Ifriqiya to an end, and recovered Abbasid authority in the Maghreb as far as eastern Algeria.[1]
