So in a previous thread I asked what would be the best way for the Maghreb to remain Christian and it seems the latest possibility for this is Dihya expels the Arabs instead of losing like in OTL because she lost the support of settled populations due to her scorched earth tactics.
Following this, we can assume that Dihya would have amassed a great amount of prestige and she could use this prestige to possible exploit Byzantine weakness in Africa (the Arabs have just razed down Carthage) to seize the whole region thus further increasing her prestige amongst the Berbers allowing for one of her sons (let's go with Bagay) can inherit the confederacy/kingdom that she has built without it all collapsing.
What woudl be the effects of such a situation. From the top of my head, the Visigoths would survive but likely collapse anywhere and maybe end up like Italy. The Byzantines might be worse off since the Arabs would be investing more effort in taking over Anatolia instead of attacking the Maghreb, Andalus and other European locales.
A Berber kingdom in Africa could allow for centralization in Mauretnia maybe.
