The Songhai Empire was responsible for the end of the Mali Empire.
After reaching its zenith under Mansa Musa, the Mali Empire began to decline in the 15th century. It was during this period of weakness that the Songhai, under the leadership of Sunni Ali, expanded their territory and eventually conquered the city of Timbuktu, which was an important trade center and intellectual hub of the Mali Empire. The capture of Timbuktu in 1468 marked the decline of Mali and the rise of the Songhai Empire as the predominant power in West Africa.
