There is trouble in the south of Iraq.

Ali ibn Muhammad (Ali the Abominable) founds a state of enslaved blacks known as Zanj in 869.

The Zanj bring a large part of southern Iraq and southwestern Iran under their control and in the process enslave many of their former masters.

The Zanj Rebellion is finally put down in 883, but not before causing great suffering.
