Songuela is a village in the rural commune of Debela, in the Cercle of Koutiala, in the Sikasso Region of southern Mali.[1]

History

In 1889, the Faama Tieba Traoré (r. 1866–1893) besieged Songuela, and the villages of M'Pessoba, Quintieri, Faracala, Zangorola and Zandiela sent troops to rescue it. After conquering Songuela, Tieba headed to Fonfona.[2]

In 1891, Songuela was among the villages that sent men to help protect Tieré, which was in revolt against Tieba.[3] Later, the chief of Songuela declared submission but opposed the entry of troops into the village. Tieba asked him to hand over soldiers to participate in the attack against Sugumba, but he refused. Tieba and his brother Babemba prepared to attack Songuela, but chose not to invade the village for fear of reprisals from the population. With rifles and bows they fired on the village for 24 hours, forcing the inhabitants to flee at night.[4]

In 1898, after suppressing the revolt in Tieré, Queletigui and Cafeleamadu marched towards Gorosso, from where they continued their journey towards Sanssoni, Tionsso, Songuela, Fonfona and Duguolo.[5]
