Kingdom of Nekor

The Kingdom of Nekor (Berber: ⵜⴰⴳⴻⵍⴷⵉⵜ ⵏ ⴻⵏⵏⴽⵓⵔ (Tageldit n Ennkur)) was an emirate centered in the Rif area of present-day Morocco. Its capital was initially located at Temsaman, and then moved to Nekor. The polity was founded in 710 CE by Salih I ibn Mansur through a Caliphate grant. Under his guidance, the local Berber tribes adopted Islam, but later deposed him in favor of one az-Zaydi from the Nafza tribe. They subsequently changed their mind and reappointed Ibn Mansur. His dynasty, the Banū Sālih, thereafter ruled the region until 1019.
