Takfarinas fled the army after seeing the Roman injustice that was being practiced against the Amazighs 1999
Tacfarinas attacked the forts and castles of the Roman army and threatened the city of Tahala. The Romans demanded fertile lands for cultivation or grazing, but the Romans won over some of Tacfarinas’ followers and promised them amnesty and the best lands for cultivation. Thus, discord arose in Tacfarinas' army and betrayal spread. On the other hand, the Romanian government was quick to honor all the military leaders who violently repelled the Tacfarinas attacks and placed statues as testimony to their achievements. Tacitus said sarcastically: “There are three crowned statues in Rome, and Tacfarinas is still at large in Africa.”
But with the appointment of Proconsul Cornelius Dolabella, the balance of war in North Africa will change, and this new Roman commander will besiege Tacfarinas' armies after eliminating many of his Mozolacean followers. He was able to surprise his army in the fortress of Ozia, east of Numidia, in the early morning, before Tacfarinas' forces woke up, so he was able to easily To capture the rebel's son captive, and to be able to find Tacfarinas' brother. After that, Dolabella entered into a fierce battle with Commander Tacfarinas, who died in battle in the year 24 AD. This defeat was in fact the result of betrayal that was planned behind the Roman scenes in coordination with the Amazigh people, and from here, Takfarinas was stabbed in the back, as in all the war and military scenarios that were devised by the Romans to get rid of their Amazigh enemies...

Muhammad Boukbut, a photographer at the end of Tacfarinas, says: “Tacfarinas launched war on the cities and villages subject to the Romans, and the movement extended from Mauritania to the Gulf of Sirte, which made him put strong pressure and demand that the emperor hand over the lands to him, threatening to wage a relentless war.”
However, the Romans were able to create a rift in the ranks of the Amazigh revolutionaries by making promises and making simple concessions. Despite the Moorish revolt after Ptolemy's accession, Proconsul Dolabella succeeded in defeating Tacfarinas, who was killed while fighting in the year 24 AD. Thus his revolution ended.”
Thus, the Tacfarinas revolution ends after many years of fighting, struggling, and striving to liberate the country from the invaders, so that the other revolutionaries then take up the torch of confrontation and confrontation, so that the history of the Amazighs throughout their lives becomes the history of honorable resistances and heroic epics. After getting rid of the Tacfarinas revolution that lasted for many years, the Romans were relieved and breathed a sigh of relief after great distress, and the hopes of the Amazighs to gain their independence and freedom to manage their country’s affairs on their own were disappointed. The Roman armies began to penetrate into Tamazgha lands, east, west and south, with the aim of seizing all the fertile lands suitable for agriculture and irrigation. It was able to impose its administrative influence on many parts of North Africa, and to appoint a Proconsul in each state to collect taxes, monitor state expenditures, naturalize people, and apply Roman laws to the Amazighs, while confronting anyone who dared to attack the Roman army. But the Tacfarinas revolution will generate other popular, social, and religious revolutions that will work to disturb the Romanian government, which was relying to repel, defend itself, and protect its interests on Italian, Spanish, and Amazigh forces in its wars with the people of Tamazgha, who were longing for freedom and independence and thirsting to defend their land with life and treasure.
