Fall of Kairouan
The Fall of Kairouan was the final campaign during the Fatimid conquest of Ifriqiya. Led by Ghazwiyya ibn Yusuf, the offensive forced the Aghlabid Emir, Ziyadat Allah III, to flee. The Fatimid army stormed the city, bringing it under their control and permanently ending Aghlabid rule, which paved the way for the establishment of the Caliphate.
