Sfax Revolt (1156) , The people of Sfax started it against the Normans and were led by Omar, the son of the city's leader, and it ended with victory and the expulsion of the Normans
In a strange incident, after the Normans succeeded in seizing control of Sfax, they took the leader of the city, Abu Al-Hussein Al-Faryani, hostage. He told he's son omar "I am old and I am about to die, so whenever you have the opportunity to revolt against the enemy, do so. Do not watch them and do not be afraid that they will kill me. Consider me dead from now on." [1] [2]
When Omar found the opportunity to revolt, he asked the residents to prepare and attack, but they feared that their sheikh and leader would be killed. However, he told them that he himself had asked for that, and for this reason he divided them into two divisions: the first to attack the wall or fort that protects Sfax and cleanse it from the Normans, and another division to attack the residences and homes of the Normans, and when the morning came, all The Normans were killed. [1] [3] [4] [2]
After the success of the Sfax revolution, Abu Yahya Ibn Matruh revolted in Tripoli, Muhammad bin Rashid revolted in Gabès, and Abd al-Mu’min bin Ali launched a campaign against Annaba, and all of Africa falled from the Normans with the exception of Mahdia and Sousse, Omar even led a campaign to liberate Mahdia, but it failed. [4] The King of Sicily knew what Omar had done, so he threatened him with killing his father, but the threats were of no use, All the people of Sfax came out to the funeral, Omar said, “This is my father. I have buried him, and I sat for the condolences, so do with him what you want.” Then the King of Sicily crucified him (Abu Al-Hussein Al-Faryani). [1] [5]
