 Tahert - Wikipedia Mirror
Tahert (aka 'Tiaret' or 'Tihert', the Berber for "station") is the name of a large Algerian town, one that gives its name to the wider farming region of 'Wilaya de Tiaret' province in central Algeria.
The Africa Institute reported in a May 2004 monograph that Tahert's more "arid and mountainous landscape has facilitated terrorist activities".
Most of the population was banished to Wargala and then escaped to the inhospitable M'Zab Valley.

 [IslamCity] The History of Islam in Algeria - Part II.
Abdurrahman ibn Rostom ruled most of the central Maghrib from Tahert or Tiaret, the rulers of the Rostomid imamate, which lasted from 761 to 909, each an Ibadi Kharijite imam, were elected by leading citizens; the imams gained a reputation for honesty, piety, and justice.
The court at Tahert was noted for its support of scholarship in mathematics, astronomy, and astrology, as well as theology and law, it was also noted that the Rostomid Imams, however, failed, by choice or by neglect, to organize a reliable standing army.
For many years, the Fatimids were attracted by the East and surely their deepest ambition was to rule the East, the Mashriq, which included Egypt and Muslim lands beyond, by 969 they had conquered Egypt and in 972 the Fatimid ruler Al Muizz established the new city of Cairo as his capital.

196 His view was that the distance between the Jabal and the Capital of the Imamate in Tahert was too far, and divided by large areas ruled by Aghlabids, which made the administration ineffective.
It appears that the attitude taken by Naffath which most seriously disturbed the Imam of Tahert and his rulers was his opinion concerning the relation between the Ibadhis and Ibadhi rulers during the state of secrecy (kitman).
The Imamate in Tahert faced political opposition on different occasions, but in this chapter our study is concerned only with those groups which possessed and developed theological and legal opinions.

Jews have been present in Algeria at least since late Roman times; the early Arab chroniclers suggest that at least some Berber tribes were converted to Judaism before Islam's arrival, notably that of Queen Kahina.
Early descriptions of the Rustamid capital Tahert note that Jews were to be found there, as in any other major Muslim city, and some centuries later the Geniza Letters (found in Cairo) mention many Algerian Jewish families.
However, the country's Jewish community was substantially increased following the Reconquista, when the Spanish Inquisition expelled the Jews from Spain in 1492 [1].

By the ninth century, the Idrisids in Morocco, the Aghlabids in Tunisia, and the Tulunids in Egypt ruled independently.
Shi'i and Khariji states emerged in North Africa at this time as well, such as the Ibadis at Tahert, followed in the tenth century by the Fatimids, an Isma'ili dynasty that founded Cairo.
In order to prop up their dominions, the Abbasids increasingly relied on Turkic soldiers and horsemen from the Central Asian steppes, a flat, arid region where life revolved around pastoralism.

 Trans-Saharan trade   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In fact, it seems that regular and intensive trade across the desert was organized quite soon after the Arabs had consolided their power in Northern Africa: both the major northern terminals of the trans-Saharan routes, Sijilmasa and Tahert, were founded in mid-8th century AD.
Already in the first half of the 12th century, the Muslim ruler of a West African state called Diafunu visited Marrakesh where he met the reigning Almoravid amir Ali b.
Even before this visit, the Rustamid imam of Tahert had sent in early 9th century a delegation with precious gifts to the court of the "King of Blacks", referring most likely to the ruler of Gao, definitely pagan by that time.
