Sonni Ali
Sonni Ali, also known as Sunni Ali Ber or "Sunni Ali", was born Ali Kolon. He reigned from about 1464 to 1492. Sunni Ali was the first king of the Songhai Empire, located in west Africa and the 15th ruler of the Sonni dynasty. Under Sunni Ali's infantry and cavalry many cities were captured and then fortified, such as Timbuktu (captured in 1468) and Djenné (captured in 1475). Sonni conducted a repressive policy against the scholars of Timbuktu, especially those of the Sankore region who were associated with the Tuareg whom Ali expelled to gain control of the town.
Sonni Ali organized a fleet to patrol the Niger river. During his reign, Songhai surpassed the height of the Mali Empire, engulfing areas under the Mali Empire (and the Ghana Empire before it). His death, in late 1492, is a matter of conjecture. According to the ''Tarikh al-Sudan'', Ali drowned while crossing the Niger River. Oral tradition believes he was killed by his sister's son, Askia Muhammad Ture.〔''Dictionary of African historical biography'', Editors Mark R. Lipschutz and R. Kent Rasmussen, (University of California Press, 1986), 229.〕 He was succeeded by his son, Sonni Baru, who was challenged by Askia because Baru was not seen as a faithful Muslim.〔(Towards an Understanding of the African Experience from Historical ) By Festus Ugboaja Ohaegbulam〕 Askia succeeded to the throne. According to the ''Tarikh al-Sudan'' it is believed that this action caused Sonni Ali's sister to shout out "Askia!"(forceful one), at the news of this take over.
Sonni Ali ruled over both urban Muslims and rural non-Muslims at a time when the traditional co-existence of different beliefs was being challenged. His adherence to African animism while also professing Islam leads some writers to describe him as ''outwardly'' or ''nominally'' Muslim.
