Mansa musa du mali
Indice
At the death of Naré, his legitimate son Dankaran Touman ascended the throne who, faithful to the custom, devoted himself to exterminate all his relatives to prevent them from overthrowing him. Sundiata was spared because of his disability but had to go into exile. When the Sossa invaded the Mandinka country, Sundiata’s time came and he miraculously regained his strength, became a great archer and led the warriors to repel the invasion. He then led the troops against the king and managed to be proclaimed mansa (king of kings), beginning the expansion that led him to form a great empire.
Great in many ways, not only military, as he introduced new crops, exploited gold mining and developed an intense legislative work embodied in the so-called Kouroukan Fouga, a kind of constitution that in forty-four decrees proclaimed individual freedom, established a series of citizen rights, reduced the slavery of prisoners of war -an unusual measure at the time that was complemented by a regime prohibiting their mistreatment-, encouraged trade, authorized divorce, promoted solidarity among neighbors and protected the natural environment, among many other interesting things.
Abubakari ii america
His birth name was Bata Manding Bory, he was crowned Mansa with the name of Abubakari II in 1310. He continued the line of peace that characterized Gao and Mohammed ibn Gao, but became interested in the western sea.[note 1] The king interviewed ship owners from Egypt and Mediterranean cities, and decided to build ships off the coast of Senegal.
Abubakari left Musa as regent of the empire and set out in 1311, down the Senegal River, with a second expedition at the head of 4000 canoes equipped with oars and sails. The ships communicated with drums, all communications were coordinated with the captain ship. Neither the emperor nor the ships ever returned to Mali. Modern historians and scientists are skeptical about the voyage, but the account of these events is preserved in written records from North Africa and in the oral legends of the djelis of Mali.[note 2][note 3][note 4][note 5][note 5]

“Fari yo Fari yo Fari yo Fari yo (Pharaoh! Pharaoh! Pharaoh!)” The Griots are already preparing to tell another story in Bambara that says Abubakari quickly rises from his Ben-bi (throne) and stands them up there. He needs ships, sailors, supplies, for his fleet to set sail. The Mansa brings from all corners of Kamita (Africa) people capable of satisfying his desire. He even wants the same engineers from Lake Chad who still know how to build ships like the ancestors of Egypt. All boats in Djoliba (Niger) and Senegal rivers are studied.

That the meek muse died
In a world in which gold was the reference value, this African emperor enjoyed unlimited access to the precious metal, which was translated, among other things, in a splendid palace full of ornaments and finishes of this material, in the luxurious and massive caravans with which he paraded in his travels and in the extravagant gifts he made to his business partners. Some accounts even claim that in his passage through Cairo he would have come to destabilize the economy by plummeting the price of gold, after flooding the market with large amounts for his spending and gifts.
Although the life of Mansa Musa has passed in a historical period from which it is difficult to extract data to determine the dimensions of his wealth, it is certain that some chronicles of the time can help to represent it.
It also provides other revealing data, such as, for example, that the money to spend during the trip “was carried on eighty camels in loads of 3,000 ounces (about 85 kilos)”, that “he gave 20,000 gold pieces in alms in each of the cities he visited”, and that “wherever his caravan camped, he built a mosque”.
