We shall have lunch with Sunni Ali. We will also have a chance to interview him on recent economic achievements such as the river-based navy of over 400 boats that he built and used to good effect in his next conquest - the trading city of Jenne (now Djenné). He was the first king of the Songhai empire. He helped the empire flourish due to him capturing Timbuktu, which gave Songhai more trading space.

How were the measurements used in Africa?
