Just a note this page was initially created by transferring content from the
Saadi Sultanate page. The existing content should be relatively ok but it's probably missing more information on the Songhai Empire's background and the wider West African context, which is something I'm less familiar with and which was less relevant for the main Saadi page.
Also, for the page's name, this was the best I could think of but I'm not strictly married to this title. "Invasion of the Songhai Empire" seemed appropriate as several sources I've looked at (e.g. Encyclopedia of African History or Kaba 1981, cited in page) refer to it as the "(Moroccan) Invasion". I decided to add "Saadian" to avoid ambiguity with any other military events in the region I might not be familiar with, and also picked "Saadian" instead of "Moroccan" to avoid any issues about anachronistic or nationalistic labels corresponding to modern nation-states.
