Ghana only traded within Africa and Songhai had Muslim influences. The main trade in Ghana was between salt and gold, but the trade in Songhai was more diverse. In Ghana they had to pay tax to the king, but in Songhai they did not. Ghana was ruled by a single king. Songhai had five provinces that were each ruled by a separate governor. I hope that helps :)

A war over succession after the death of Emperor Askia Daoud weakened the empire and left it vulnerable from invasion by Morocco. The cities were sacked, and the empire was demolished as a regional power. The Moroccans lacked the ability to lead so great an empire, and lost control. It splintered into many separate kingdoms, but none were able to retain the power of the Songhai Empire.
