Editing Samori Ture (section)

===War against the Cissé===
While Samory had been conquering in the north of his empire in the years 1875-8, Sere Brema Cissé's nephew Morlaye had pushed into the Sankaran region, exploiting Samory's relative lack of influence there but attacking some of his allies.<ref name = Fofana/>{{rp|52}} The situation now reached a head, and diplomatic outreach came to nothing.

While marching to confront Morlaye, Samory passed through Kankan and asked the Kaba to contribute troops. With the Cissés being fellow Muslims as well as relative by marriage, and feeling sidelined in the alliance, they refused, breaking the accord of Tintioule. Samory left his brother Keme Brema to besiege Kankan while he marched to face the Cissé. He captured Morlaye at Sirinkoro, and then defeated the army sent to rescue him. Soon he had trapped Sere Brema in Worokoro, which soon fell.<ref name = Fofana/>{{rp|58}}

Meanwhile, an effort to relieve the siege of [[Kankan]] led by the Sakhos of Koundian and the Coulibalis of [[Keniera]] who had also revolted against Samory failed and the city was captured. Daye Kaba, who commanded the garrison of the suburb of Karfamoria, managed to escape to Keniera and later to [[Segou]], where he took refuge with [[Ahmadu Tall]]. His family was removed from power in Kankan, whose inhabitants were spared a sack but forced to pay a large indemnity in gold.<ref name = Fofana/>{{rp|59}} With this great trading center secure, the [[Wassoulou Empire]] extended through the territory of present-day Guinea and southern Mali, from what is now Sierra Leone to northern [[Côte d'Ivoire]].
