Fatimid campaigns in the western Maghreb (958–960)

[3][4] After the end of Idrisid rule in Fez one of the princes established himself in the Rif in the 930s, he recognised the authority of the Fatimids until his death in 948.

[4] In 958 Jawhar occupied Sijilmasa after which its ruler Ibn Wasul evacuated the city, however he was delivered to Jawhar and the coins in his mint were struck in the name of the Fatimid Caliph.

[3] In the winter of 958 Ziri ibn Manad directed a siege against Fez and in November 959 he overcame the walls of Fez, two days after he captured the emir and took him prisoner.

[3] Fez and Sijilmasa were captured and the Fatimid realm was extended to the Atlantic.

[2][1] The amir of Fez and Ibn Wasul of Sijilmasa were brought along in cages and the Idrisids were forced to provide hostages.
