The HAMMADID DYNASTY, which governed much of central and eastern Algeria.
The Banu Hilal pushed on to Tunisia and eastern Algeria, where they seized most of Zirid and Hammadid territory during the 1050s.

 Banu Hilal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Banu Hilal were an Arab tribe that migrated from Arabia into North Africa in the 11th century, having been sent by the Fatimids to punish the Zirids for abandoning Shiism.
They quickly defeated the Zirids and deeply weakened the neighboring Hammadids.
Their influx was a major factor in the Arabization of the Maghreb, and in the spread of nomadism in areas where agriculture had previously been dominant.

The Hammadids, an offshoot of the Zirids, were a Berber dynasty who ruled an area roughly corresponding to modern Algeria for about a century and a half (1008-1152), until, weakened by the Banu Hilal's incursions, they were destroyed by the Almohads.
Their capital was at first Qalaat Beni Hammad; when this was endangered by the Banu Hilal, they moved to Bejaia (in 1090.)
