Some of the many Songhai travelers had knowledge of how to use muskets, so they trained Songhai soldiers to use the guns left behind the dead mercs. By the time news of the invasion's failure reached the Moroccans, Songhai soldiers were outside the country's borders. The Songhai, knowing that Morocco had a militaristic advantage over them, wanted to make peace. Both countries agreed to a ceasefire, but were still relatively hostile to each other. Every once in a while, a lone soldier would cross the border accidentally and tensions would arise, but only for a short time.
