Question

This river was closely associated with the spirt Harake Diko. This was the longest river that was the site of a canoe-based navy led by a commander known as the hi koy. The history of an empire that began along this river was written by Abd al-Sadi and is often paired with another history called the Chronicle of the Seeker, or the (10[1])Tarikh (-5[1])al-fattash. The Askia (as-KEE-uh) dynasty took control of an (10[1])empire on this river shortly after its founder Sonni Ali drowned in this river. Ibn Battuta (10[1])inaccurately thought this river to be the Nile whilst visiting a different (-5[1])empire centered on this river. (10[1])Sangkore University was established in the (-5[1])largest (10[1])city along this river by Mansa Musa. For 10 points, name this river which ran through the Songhai and Mali Empires and is the (-5[1])longest river in West (10[1])Africa. (10[2]0[1])■END■
