Sunni Ali's conquests of Timbuktu and Djenné in the 15th century significantly expanded the Songhai Empire, establishing it as a dominant power in West Africa. His control over these key trading cities allowed for increased wealth through trade in gold, salt, and other goods. Additionally, the conquests bolstered the empire's cultural and intellectual prominence, as Timbuktu became a center of learning and scholarship. Ultimately, Sunni Ali's military campaigns facilitated the integration of diverse cultures and strengthened the region's economic and political structures.
The immense wealth of Timbuktu, derived from its position as a center for trade in gold, salt, and precious manuscripts, attracted numerous invaders and opportunists. This prosperity made the city a target for conquest, leading to repeated invasions, notably by the Moroccan army in the late 16th century. As a result, the very riches that fueled its cultural and economic flourishing ultimately contributed to its decline, as they incited conflict and destabilization. Thus, Timbuktu's wealth, instead of safeguarding it, became a catalyst for its downfall.
