known as the Rhinotmetus. The conquest of North Africa by the forces of Islam was now nearly complete. Hasan's forces met with resistance from the Zenata tribe of Berbers under al-Kahina, who inflicted a serious defeat on him and drove him back to Barqa. However, in 702 he received strong reinforcement from Caliph Abd al-Malik. Now with a large army and the support of the settled population of North Africa, Hasan pushed forward, decisively defeating al-Kahina in the Battle of Tabarka, west of Carthage. He then developed the village of Tunis, from the destroyed Carthage.
