Main source: Archers, Musketeers, and Mosquitoes: The Moroccan Invasion of the Sudan and the Songhay Resistance (1591-1612) by Lansiné Kaba

Note: The Mossi shouldn't be shown as part of the Mali Empire in 1590, they were subservient to the Songhai before the Moroccan invasion and independent afterwards. Secondly, the cities of Gao, Timbuktu, and Djenne may be shown slightly to the west of their actual locations, I apologize for these oversights.
