Question: West African Kingdoms between 5th and 14th Centuries!?

Where was the Mali Empire and Benin Empire located!?

Like:

Ghana Empire-

between Sahara and the Gulf of Guinea!. Stretched from Atlantic ocean to the Niger River

Mali: The West part of modern Mali extending out to the Senegal coast of the Atlantic Ocean!. Centred along the Niger River!.

Benin: Located in modern Nigeria!. (The second link gives a good map, though the date is 1870, but I assume the location is roughly the same!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com
