I don't really know what to say to that. The depth of your ignorance is new to me, regarding the history of African societies.

Can I suggest a few books for you to read?

Please don't be personally rude, even when someone else is ignorant.

I wish some of these could be translated to English. Would probably help clarify some huge misunderstandings. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timbuktu_Manuscripts

I'm not the person you are replying to, but do you have a recommendation for a book on the Songhai Empire?

I wish you would just post the books you have in mind, rather than writing a snarky response like this.
