Action B of 124007 - Omar's Appeal for Timbuktu

Description

The Malinke Kings lost control over Timbuktu in 1433 when Tuareg nomads destroyed the garrison there, seizing it for their own. The Tuaregs were not kind overlords and their demands became more and more insistent, causing great death and destruction in what had once been a peaceful city of trade and learning. In 1466, the governor of Timbuktu sent a letter to the King of Mali asking for his help in restoring Muslim rule over the city. It was a chance for the empire of Mali to be restored, for with Timbuktu under its thumb, what could stop Mali? On the other hand Timbuktu was far away and the Tuaregs were capable opponents.
