The Zanj Rebellion was a revolt against the Abbasid Caliphate which started in the early 860s before escalating into a full-scaled rebellion from 869 to 883. Led by former Abbasid official Ali ibn Muhammad, the rebellion sought to liberate the caliphate's enslaved population[1] and initially only involved the Zanj, a Bantu population from Southeast Africa who were brought into the caliphate as slaves. It went on to include various Arab tribes and slaves.[2] During the early years of the revolt, Ali and the rebels were aided by the Alamut Brotherhood of Hidden Ones, who sought to eliminate the Order of the Ancients who held power in the Abbasid court.[3]
