The Songhay Restoration refers to the revival of the Songhay Empire's political and cultural influence in West Africa during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After the empire's decline in the 16th century due to internal strife and external pressures, efforts were made by local leaders and intellectuals to reclaim and celebrate the legacy of Songhay. This movement emphasized the empire's historical significance, cultural achievements, and contributions to trade, education, and governance. The restoration also aimed to foster a sense of identity and unity among the descendants of the empire in contemporary West Africa.
