Kahina

Dihya or Kahina , was a Berber queen, religious and military leader who led indigenous resistance to Arab Islamic expansion in Northwest Africa, the region then known as Numidia. She was born in the early 7th century and died around the end of the 7th century in modernday Algeria.

She was born in the early 7th century and may well have been of mixed descent Berber Jews and Byzantine Christians, since one of her sons is described as a Yunani or Greek. Dihya may have ruled as a Christian queen of the Berbers. But some Arab historians wrote that she was a Jewish sorcerer, and because of this fact she was able to defeat the Arab Islamic invaders who retreated to eastern Tripolitania.
