Hamdullahi
Hamdullahi was a nineteenth-century imamate on the Niger river in what is now the Mopti Region of Mali. Founded in 1820 by Seku Amadu, Hamdullahi served as the capital of the nineteenth-century Peul empire of Massina.
On March 16, 1862, it fell to the Toucouleur conqueror El Hadj Umar Tall after three major battles that claimed over 70,000 lives. Umar Tall destroyed the city, marking the effective end of the Massina Empire.
