Mande Bori

Mande Bori, also known as Mande Bakari and known in Arabic as Abu Bakr, is a heroic figure in Mande oral tradition who was involved in the founding of the Mali Empire. He was the brother and right-hand man of Sunjata, the founder of the empire, and served as the empire's kankoro-sigui, an office that has been translated as "viceroy" or "lieutenant-general". Though Mande Bori never himself reigned as mansa, his grandsons Musa and Suleyman ruled the Mali Empire at the apex of its power and prestige, and he is often erroneously cited as Mansa Abu Bakr II.

Mande Bori Keita (Manden Mori) was the only son of Narenmaghann's third wife (Maninba Camara). After his mother died when he was a child, he was cared for by Sogolon and which made many historians believe that he was one of her characters. He accompanied Sogolon and children to the political exiles and took part in every war that's given Mande's independence from Soso empire. Manden Mori was one of the people who organized Mande's hunting (Donso or Donzo) as well as its actual form.
