A strong leader in Songhai brought stability, order, and cohesion to the empire, helping to maintain internal peace and fend off external threats. They were also able to enact effective governance, promote economic prosperity, and make strategic decisions to expand the empire's influence.
The African leader who took control of the Songhai Empire from Sunni Ali's son, Sunni Baru, was Muhammad Ture, also known as Askia Muhammad. He led a rebellion against Sunni Baru in 1493, effectively seizing power and establishing the Askia dynasty.
