https://www.beyouteous.com - Berber Queen Dihya fought against Islamic expansion under the leadership of Hasan ibn al Nu'man whose Umayyad armies campaigned across North Africa (c. 7 A.D). Under her leadership, the Arab army was defeated and holed up in Cyrenaica (Libya) for four or five years. The Arabs invaded again, and this time, the Berber army was unable to defend themselves.
