It was reconquered by general Belisarius before going to Italy, they erased the Vandal kingdom of north Africa, reconquered Sardinia and Corsica also from the Vandals. It was a strategic move since north Africa and Sardinia were two of the most important granaries of the western Empire, a vital asset to support the Byzantine army during the following campaign to reconquer the Italian peninsula.
