The Albaicin revolt organized a governing committee rather than descending into chaos

Evidence

To say that rioting broke out is perhaps misleading, for one of the first things done by the inhabitants of the Albaic´ın in this rising was the election of a committee of forty to administer their area. This was a rebellion that was protesting against disorders, rather than setting out to create chaos. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 181
