Suling Jatta (died 24 June 1855) was a Mandinka King of Kombo during the mid-nineteenth century.
In 1840, Jatta was persuaded by Sir Henry Vere Huntley, the Lieutenant Governor of the Gambia, to cede a northern portion of his territory to the British as a settlement for liberated Africans.
The Soninke faction was based in the towns of Yundum, Busumbala, and Brikama; the Marabouts were at Sabbajee, Gunjur, and Brefet.
[1] Jatta was killed in battle on 24 June 1855, when a Marabout force under the Mandinka commander Fodi Kabba Dumbuya attacked his capital at Busumbala.
His forces were able to repel the attack, but Jatta was shot through the heart and killed instantly in the fray.
