Uli I of Mali

Mansa Uli's real name is Kon (The target), as his mother's name Jurunin was added as a prefix (Jurunin-Kon), people wrongly called him Yérélenkon. Because his body was clear, people called him Mansa Ulay, who was meant as the "red king". == Haji ==

Uli went on the hajj at some point between 1260 and 1277. Uli was apparently succeeded by his brother Wati, When the Soso's got information, they migrated to Jalon and confided in the Yalonke People. They remained there for many centuries until the Fulani's arrival in the seventeenth century, who changed their language from Mandingo to "proto-Yalonke" (Sousou's languages). During the Fulani's arrival, the Yalonkes shared the lands giving to the Soso people to Fulani's who made them Immigrate to the coastal area. Uli had a son, Qu, who would gain the throne during the early 14th century. ==Footnotes==
