THE 3 CORNERSTONES

In Mara, the village founded by Dankara Souma (Soundiata's father), in the direction of Faranah, these three stones represent the alliance of three brothers who swore not to betray each other. At the time of the installation of the marabouts and the conversion to Islam, in order to maintain peace and unity around him, the king invited 1 kissi, 1 frinsola (kouranko) and 1 ntiya (the foreign marabout) to conclude this pact. At that time, the three stones were placed in the middle of the royal court. It is a pity that the corner is not better arranged.
