Did Sunni Ali rebel against Mali?

Sunni Ali did not rebel against Mali; rather, he was the ruler of the Songhai Empire and expanded its territory at the expense of the Mali Empire. During his reign from 1464 to 1492, he launched military campaigns to conquer Mali's territories, effectively diminishing Mali's power. Sunni Ali sought to build a strong and independent Songhai state, which ultimately led to the decline of Mali's influence in West Africa.
