- 1,235 C.E. — 1,255 C.E. Tiramakhan's western campaign
- Tiramakhan, also known as Tiramaghan, of the Traore clan, was ordered by Sonjata to bring an army west after the king of Jolof had allowed horses to be stolen from Mandekalu merchants. The king of Jolof also sent a message to the young emperor referring to him as an upstart.[1] By the time Tiramakhan's forces were done three kings were dead, and the Jolof ruler was reduced to a vassal.[2] The new western portion of the empire settlement would become an outpost that encompassed not only northern Guinea-Bissau but the Gambia and the Casamance region of Senegal (named for the Mandinka province of Casa or Cassa ruled by the Casa-Mansa).[3]
