is Afer not a berber word ? are the ifri not aberber tribe ? is ifri not africa in latin? Aziri 11:30, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

No - Africa is the Latin word for Africa, the Afri are a Berber tribe, and Afer may or may not be a Berber word; some scholars say it's from Punic `afar, some say it's from Greek, some say it's from Berber. Read the Africa article for more details. - Mustafaa 09:12, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Map

This article could use a map of some sort. -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 06:10, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Accordning to the text, it would be roughly the same as the maps found here. //Big Adamsky 06:25, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

"Tunis", a historical region?!

"..comprising Constantinois and Aurès (what is today eastern Algeria), Tunis (currently Tunisia) and Tripolitania (now western Libya).." The referred "Tunis" here is merely a link to the modern city of Tunis. Back then, there was no such region called "Tunis", Ifriqiya encompassed all including Constantinois, Aures, Zibans, Jerid, Tripolitania, Ghadames, Kairouan, Monastir and all surrounding cities. Therefore i think its historically wrong to describe it with such wording, unless one is referring to the Turkish Regency of Tunis which then would be completely irrelevant given the fact that it represents only a small portion of the geographical and demographic composition of Ifriqiya, commonly known today as historical Tunisia.

September 2021

This comment is meant for whomever is behind the IPs (41.230.93.29 and 41.230.77.106, which are obviously linked to the same person) that described Ifriqiya and the Hafsids as "Tunisian", reduced the Ifriqiya to Carthage and finally made two unexplained changes while ignoring the comment that I left on their talk page:

Can you explain your latest change to this article and to the Hafsid dynasty? While you're at it, and since there is a pattern emerging with regard to your edits, you'll do well to explain the changes that you made to the Shakshouka article. M.Bitton (talk) 18:38, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Removed text

"Arabs generally settled on lower ground while the native Berber population in the mountains kept language and much of their traditional culture."

This text in the lede section was tagged over six years ago and is still unreferenced. I am an agnostic on the topic, but this sort of broad generalization is often at least somewhat over-simplified, so I find the objection plausible. I have no objection to the material returning to the article if cited with RS. Elinruby (talk) 02:21, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Off-topic or unfocused material

I removed the section entitled "Islam and Africa" because it was: a) clearly about Islam in Africa and not about Ifriqiya; and b) essentially a complete paraphrase of one online source ([1]). Unsurprisingly, it was added for a student assignment back in 2018 ([2]). I don't think the "notable people" section, added in the same edit, is very useful here either, and I'm inclined to remove it too if there are no objections.
