HRE need to grab rifles and take out Mali. Going for economics will see them delaying their attack and in the meantime Sullla and Speakers tech rate will be steadily increasing, HRE can only barely keep up in a golden age and out of it they'll just be falling behind. They desperately need some more land and this looks like the best opportunity to get it. Possibly Korea would be a better target since India would find it harder to intervene, but they have a better military than Mali.
Basically they need to leverage this tech lead into some into some major in game advantage quickly because they won't have it for long. Economics would just be a delaying factor.
