Buluggin ibn Ziri


Abul-Futuh Sayf ad-Dawla Buluggin ibn Ziri (d. 984) - the first ruler of the Zirid dynasty in Ifrikiji in the years 972-984.

Buluggin ibn Ziri was in charge of his father, Zirie ibn Manada, when he founded the cities of Algiers, Milian and Al-Madijja. After Zirie's death in a battle with the Berber rebels, Buluggin became the governor of Algeria. He defeated the Berber Zenat tribes, and a large number of captives were relocated to Ashram.

When the Fatimids moved their headquarters from Al-Mahdia to Egypt, Buluggin ibn Ziri was designated by the Caliph Al-Mu'izza vicar of Ifrikiji with the capital of Cairo. The Fatimids took with them the treasury and the fleet to Egypt, so the most important thing for the Zirids was to strengthen their power. However, the loss of the fleet meant the loss of control over the Calbids in Sicily. Buluggin moved to the Atlantic during his campaign in Morocco, where he fought against the Bargawatt tribes. However, the fortresses of Ceuta and Tanger kept the Caliphate of Cordoba.

Buluggin died in 984 when he returned from the expedition. His successor was his son Al-Mansur ibn Buluggin (984-995). Bibliography
