al-Mansur ibn Ziri
Al-Mansur ibn Buluggin ibn Ziri ( Arabic المنصور بن بلقين بن زيري, DMG al-Manṣūr b. Buluqqīn b. Zīrī ; † 995 ) was the second ruler of the Zirids in Ifrīqiya .
He was the son of Buluggin ibn Ziri and when he died he succeeded him as Zirid ruler in Ifriqiya. Despite further fighting by the Zirids against the Berber tribes in Morocco , he had to give up the attempt at a permanent conquest of Fez and Sidschilmasa . However, he was able to consolidate the rule of the Zirids in the central Maghreb when he subjugated the Kutāma Berbers in 988 and his brother Hammad, as governor of the central Maghreb / Algeria, drove the Zanata Berbers to Morocco. The vassal relationship to the Fatimids became increasingly loose under al-Mansur ibn Ziri, which was certainly also due to the fact that the main focus of the Fatimids was on the overthrow of the Abbasids in Iraq .
When al-Mansur ibn Ziri died in 995, his son Badis ibn Ziri († 1016) was his successor.
