The group that eventually ended the Mali Empire and established its own empire was the Songhai Empire.
The group that eventually ended the Mali Empire and established its own empire was the Songhai Empire. To arrive at this answer, let's analyze the other options:
1. Mossi: The Mossi people were primarily located in present-day Burkina Faso. While they had interactions with the Mali Empire, they did not ultimately defeat or replace it.
2. Morocco: Although Morocco had some conflicts with the Mali Empire, it did not directly end the Mali Empire or establish its own empire in its place.
3. Tuareg: The Tuareg people, also known as the Berbers, had both conflicts and cooperation with the Mali Empire. However, they did not overthrow the Mali Empire to establish their own empire.
Therefore, the correct answer is Songhai, as they successfully overthrew the Mali Empire and established the Songhai Empire in West Africa.
