The Songhai Empire
Songhai and Mali were closely connected through their historical roles as powerful empires in West Africa, both thriving on trade, particularly in gold and salt. The Songhai Empire emerged from the remnants of the Mali Empire, with its capital in Gao, which had been an important trading city under Mali. As Songhai expanded, it absorbed much of Mali's territory and culture, and both empires shared Islamic influences, promoting education and trade across the region. Ultimately, the decline of Mali paved the way for Songhai to become one of the largest empires in African history.

The Songhai Empire (sometimes spelled Songhay) is regarded by scholars and laymen alike as one of Africa's greatest empires. The Songhai Empire rose to particularly lofty heights in the late 1400s during the magnificent rule of Sunni Ali. During the reign of Sunni Ali most of what was formerly the Ghanaian and Mali Empires were incorporated into the Songhai Empire
