Qasa (Arabic: قسا, romanized: Qasā; d. c. 1360), in oral tradition also known as Kamba,[1] was a short-lived mansa of the Mali Empire.
He succeeded his father, Sulayman, and reigned for only nine months.
[3] Charles Monteil suggested that Qasa was the son of Sulayman's first principal wife, Qasa, due to the practice of matronymics.
Nehemia Levtzion considered this unlikely, as a matronymic name would combine the name of the mother and name of the son, as in Kanku Musa, "Musa son of Kanku", rather than being the name of the mother alone, and furthermore, qasā means "queen" and was probably the title of Sulayman's wife, not her personal name.
