Amalj'aa actually could be a thing. Prior to the Battle of Silvertear skies, the Amalj'aa and Ul'dahns had peaceful relations. The beastmen even lived in the city-state. It wasn't until (after the fall of the Agrius) the Garleans began dropping propaganda on the Eorzean city-states that relations soured. We don't have an exact timeframe of when this started, but sometime after the XIVth Legion failed to take Mor Dhona, they began using their airships to drop linkpearls on the city-state spewing propaganda messages like: Join us and live! The Beastmen are a blight that should be eradicated! Eikons will destroy the planet! Worshipers of false gods will perish!
It was around this time that Ul'dah banished the Amalj'aa from the city-state, seeking to distance themselves from being seen as "beastmen sympathizers" to the Garleans, should they invade. At least, that's how the story was told in 1.0. It could be possible that in protest of being thrown out the Amalj'aa rioted? I think if the Sultan died in the ensuing chaos that would probably put a permanent black mark on Ul'dahn-Amalj'aa relations?
But Sasabaru could have just as easily died to old age, a health problem, or Syndicate assassination. We have no lore to substantiate any theories, yet. =/
