[Rome AHC] - Romano-Berbers Claim Imperial Purple

So, to be clear: This is a situation where both the Eastern and Western Roman Empires collapse to outside pressures, but the Romano-Berbers somehow manage to both claim and maintain an imperial claim ala the Byzantines or Franks. Obviously centered on North Africa, but possibly also extending into Iberia and the Mediterrenean, perhaps even the regions of Egypt and Libya? Is this in anyway possible to effect, given enough time to set in motion butterflies?
 
A Charlemagne-esque figure may be a necessity and prequesite to have the Romanized Berbers claim the purple. Have this individual unite the different Berber kingdoms and have him proclaimed by the subject Roman population as an Emperor. The Vandals contest this and wage war on the Romanized Berbers. The Berber king defeats and subjugates the Vandals, purging the land of the Arians. The archbishop or whatever spiritual authority is in charge of the Christian Church in Carthage makes his status formalized. Boom. Holy Berber-Roman Empire.

In a few years the Empire is dominated by romance speaking population of Africa Proconsularis, and not many remember its bereber roots, because all speak in vulgar Latin, and true Latin is used as a high language, and the country is called Romania, or Africa, or whatever.
