Mademba Sy
The French Colonial administration placed him as 'chief' of Massina after its conquest in the 1890s, in fact in the new kingdom of Sansanding at south-west. In 1899 he was famously brought before a French military court on charges that he abused his authority but keep the political support to him until his death.[1]
