Sori

Sori lies south of Kandi beside the Alibori, a river that flows north towards the Niger. Kandi became the centre of a kingdom in the Borgu country, linked by its ruling family to Nikki. In the first half of the eighteenth century, Wasangari aristocrats from Nikki established themselves among the existing Mokole communities of Kandi and Guéné. Local tradition remembers Saka Baku, a prince of Nikki, as the founder of Kandi's ruling house.
