Lulami (also Loulami) was the capital of the
Dendi of the
Songhai Empire. It was established by
Askia Nuh, son of
Askia Dawud[1] and it is from here the Songhai resistance against Morocco continued. In 1639 during the reign of Askia Ismail,[2] the Moroccan
Pasha Mesaoud sacked the town of Lulami. The location of this town is unknown but believed to be south of the town of
Say in Niger.[3][4][5][6]
