description: "Mansa Mahmud Keïta IV, also known as Niani Mansa Mamadou or Soro Mansa Mamadou, was the last reigning emperor of the Mali Empire, according to the Tarikh al-Sudan written in the 17th century. A prominent, if perhaps composite, character in oral traditions, he was responsible for bringing the empire back from its nadir in the 1540s and 50s, but ultimately the defeat outside of the city of Djenne in 1599 brought an end to Mali's imperial period. His death resulted in the splitting of the empire between his sons and marking the end of a unified Mali."
