The capture of Tahert occurred in 909 CE at the city of
Tahert (present day
Tagdemt) when the
Fatimids led by
Abu Abdallah al-Shi'i destroyed the city which resulted in the end of the
Rustamid kingdom and the flight of the population into
Sédrata (Ouargla) [
fr] near
Ouargla, from where they would emigrate to
Mzab in the 11th century.
