Answer 1

Songhai leader Sunni Ali conquered Mali and destroyed the city of Timbuktu There are two main sources of information about Sonni Ali. One is in the Islamic chronicles of the period, the other is through Songhai oral tradition. These sources reflect two different interpretations of Sonni Ali's role in the development of the Songhai Empire. Sonni Ali was schooled in the traditional African
arts of the region and was well versed in the forms and techniques of warfare when he came to power in 1464 in the small kingdom of Songhai, which was centered around its capital city of Gao on the Niger River. He was the 15th consecutive ruler of the Sonni dynasty, which had begun in 1335. One of Ali's ancestors, Sonni Suleiman Mar, is said to have wrested Songhai away from the Mali Empire towards the end of the 14th century.
