Abstract:
With the beginning of the Hafsid state in Ifriqiya, in the year 625 AH
/ 1227 AD, which was considered a continuation of the Almohad state,The
city of Tripoli and its environs welcomed this state, which it considered a
continuation of the Almohad authority,The Tripoli people found in the
Hafsid state a greater opportunity to provide help and assistance to them as
soon as possible as a result of the presence of the decision-maker near them,It
is not like it was under the Almohads when it took a long time for their
decision-making to be issued by the Almohad caliph in Marrakech, and when
the matter settled for Banu Hafs in Ifriqiya and they took it as a center of their power,They began to send the princes to Tripoli, and thus Tripoli
became part of the Hafsid state, and it had a prominent role in the political
events of their era.
It seems that the political vacuum prevailing in the Tripoli Territory from
time to time encouraged some princes to revolt against the Hafsids, thus
trying their independence from the central government in Tunisia, and the
political vacuum encouraged the emergence of a number of adventurers and
greedy rulers, in an attempt to seize them. On Tripoli and its environs.
Through their revolutions and separatist movements, which seem to have the
greatest impact in creating chaos and turmoil for this country.
