==History==
Dah was the seat of a kingdom, a subdivision of the historical province of [[Bendugu (province)|Bendugu]]. According to local legend, it was founded by a devout member of the [[Traore]] family who, after making the [[hajj]] pilgrimage to [[Mecca]], left the [[Mali Empire|Mali]] emperor's pagan court.{{sfn|Bazin|1988|p=415}} Cadet branches of the local [[Traore]] dynasty were installed in Woron and Siella/Shyela on the north bank of the [[Bani River]], as well as in Tara, [[N'Goa]] and Masadugu to the south.{{sfn|Bazin|1988|p=390}} [[San, Mali|San]] was also a part of the kingdom.<ref name = Massing>{{cite journal |last1=Massing |first1=Andrew |title=SAN AND THE SANKÉ: A HISTORY OF A MARKA MALINKÉ TRADING CITY ON THE NIGER |journal=Mande Studies |date=2009 |volume=11|pages=23–53 |doi=10.2979/mnd.2009.a873545 }}</ref> In 1572 [[Askia Daoud]], leader of the [[Songhai Empire]], sent the [[Kurmina-fari]] to ransack Daa, perhaps in response of an internal succession dispute and reversion to overtly pagan religious practices. The royal family were captured, but later freed after the intervention of their close relative, the king of N'goa.{{sfn|Bazin|1988|p=392, 415}} After the collapse of the Songhai, Daa joined in [[Djenne]]'s rebellion against the [[Pashalik of Timbuktu]] in 1632.{{sfn|Bazin|1988|p=393}}
