In 1637, Murad Bey invited Shaykh al-'Arab Si Mohamed Sakhri Ben Bou Okkaz and his notable principals to visit him in Constantine, Muray Bey would eventually kill Cheikh Al Arab Si Mohammed, his son and all of his principals after accusing them of treason and asking the Dey of Algiers and his Diwan about how he should deal with them, it is believed that Shaykh al-'Arab was killed to reduce the influence of Dhoaouda in eastern Algeria, since they controlled most of eastern Algeria by that time and most of its production (along side with their allies and Makhzen tribes such as Ahl Ben Ali, Ghamra, Ouled Nail, Hrakta and others).
One year later, in 1638 Si Ahmed Ben Al Sakhri Bou Akaaz revolted alongside the Beni Abbas Kingdom in the north (Kabyles) who allied after realizing that they share the same interest, retaining their influence in the region and expelling Murad Bey, leading troops from the Ahl ben Ali, Ghamra, Shorfa, Hrakta, Ouled Nail, and all the allied/Makhzen tribes following the Dhouaouda Emirate.

Arabs and Kabyles being led by Si Sakhri (Shaykh al-'Arab) and Betka el-Moqrani, Turks being led by Murad Bey and Qaid Youssef/Hadj Chabane who were sent by the :'dey of Algiers with 4,000 soldiers, 200 kheimas (tents), every tent containing 20 soldiers (for a total of 6,000 troops for the Ottoman side).
By the end of the day of 20 September 1638, the Turkish army was crushed and destroyed, leading into a decisive victory for the Arabs and anarchy in the beylik of Constantine for the next nine years.
