Timbuktu (UNESCO/NHK)

Home of the prestigious Koranic Sankore University and other madrasas, Timbuktu was an intellectual and spiritual capital and a centre for the propagation of Islam throughout Africa in the 15th and 16th centuries. Its three great mosques, Djingareyber, Sankore and Sidi Yahia, recall Timbuktu's golden age. Although continuously restored, these monuments are today under threat from desertification.

if Senegal could get an energetic liberator like Traore, a merger with Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso would give the Sahel region access to the sea. they can then route all their trading through Senegal's ports. Timbuktu would be resurrected and the Sahel region would boom again as Sundiata Keita, Mansa Musa and the other African legends intended. I miss the library of Timbuktu. It was magnificent

[@ThaLinguist]

She keeps referring to someone named "Askia". His name was not "Askia". His name was "Muhammad". "Askia" was his title. And he was not the last king of the Songhay.

[@garynelson9538]

When a researcher doesn't know something as basic that Askia being his Title and not his name, just close your ears.
