Malian Authority Under Threat

---

Throughout the 14th and early 15th centuries, our grasp on our outlying provinces has grown weaker and weaker, notably resulting in Songhai renouncing any claim to loyalty to us. Now, people closer to home are demanding a weaker Malian state while people to the west in Jolof demand independence from us altogether. We can try to put down this challenge to our authority, but it will come at great cost.

Emergence of the Fulani

---

A group of wandering nomads known as the Fulani have united under the leadership of Tengella and his son Koly. Migrating south the Fulani have now formed an expansionist state around Futa Tooro with its eyes set on the entire Senegambian region. These Fulani seem to have no respect for our borders and there have been numerous incidents already of these tribesmen penetrating deep into our lands, levying taxes on our people and undermining our authority.

The Wangara and the Portuguese

---

Having adopted a less violent approach, Portuguese traders have become an increasingly common sight along our western coasts. In many ways this is a boon to our state as it has given us much easier access to horses for our armies and a way to procure valuable goods from the many exotic ports frequented by Portuguese merchants. For gold or slaves there is not much the Portuguese wouldn't sell us and our merchant caste, the Wangara, is thriving due to this new partnership.

There is, however, a slight worry about this development in some camps, the amount of slaves to a horse seem to keep increasing by the day and while our own transoceanic ventures haven't gone so well it would seem less than prudent to rely entirely on these foreign merchants as they surely can't have our best interests at heart.

Portuguese Meddling

---

The Portuguese traders on our western coast have become quite a nuisance lately. While the horses they bring for our armies and the exotic goods they bring from far away countries are of great use to us it seems they cannot help but meddle in the local politics. It is clear that several chiefs that are in contact with the Portuguese have been encouraged to extend their personal authority and to slowly attempt to cut the ties with our central administration.

In order to deal with this we could either strike at the chiefs themselves or attempt to limit the influence of the Portuguese.

Islamisation of the Aristocracy

---

While our kingdom is Islamic in name the old religion of our forefathers is still very much a force to be reckoned with. Islam has, however, been gaining more ground lately among the aristocracy and wandering marabouts have also become an increasingly common sight even in the farthest corners of our lands.

In the past our predecessors have all avoided trying to be too forceful about converting their subjects but if we wish we could probably make use of these recent developments to encourage the spread of the true faith.

Unsafe Roads

---

The time needed to complete a journey from our capital to the coast has risen alarmingly due to the direct route being plagued by bandits, Fulani raiders and local chiefs hoping to enrich themselves by waylaying the rich Wangara traders.

Unless we attempt to address this issue soon we may find ourselves losing contact with the outlying parts of our empire.

Rise of Kaabu

---

Sami Koli, the governor of Kaabu is accusing us of neglecting the coastal trading areas of our empire. He has now threatened to sever the ties with us completely and has started to deal with the European trading nations directly rather than as our representative. Never very committed to the Malian state religion Kaabu has grown to be a stronghold of the local traditional religion and its new rulers have been quick to use this against us.

With a strong religious identity and its Atlantic trade ties Kaabu has every chance of becoming a durable state. If we are to stop this we should probably act as soon as possible.

[Root.GetName] and the Songhai

---

Prior to 1430, the lands of Songhai were our subjects. In 1430, the [Root.GetName] lost control over the rich city Gao due to the problems and struggles in the homeland, and the city and its territory around it went rogue. They have been taken over by the Sonni dynasty and declared themselves a realm of their own, rivalling our power.

The generous Pilgrimage of [Root.Monarch.GetName]

[Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName] travelled to the great city of [385.GetName]. Just like how the great Mansa Musa once did, so did the current [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] bring the riches of [Root.GetName] to the city - although this time, with a lot less gold; after all, [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] did not want to cause damage to our brethren in faith.
When arriving at the city, the [Root.GetClergyName] recommended to donate the gold for the construction of a great mosque, which shall compliment the great Kaaba. On the other hand, some of the more compassionate advisors suggested investing in a counting house in [385.GetName] so that the poor can help themselves to overcome their bad situation with the help of Allah.

A new Pilgrimage Route

---

Many of our Mansas have travelled to Mecca in the past. Each time the Mansas took the classic way through Egypt and spent their time in the Arab world. While it is the safest and fastest way, it is not a very exciting route. It would be like any other pilgrimage.
But the court came up with a new idea: a grand tour to Mecca through the Christian world to see the wonders of Europe.
