Who they are
The Fali Bana live in the Far North Region of Cameroon, in the Bourrah area, and also in Nigeria, in the Mubi region. In Cameroon, speakers call their language koma kabana, meaning “the language of the Bana.” It belongs to the Chadic branch. Traditional religions predominate among the Fali Bana; Christians and Muslims are minorities in both countries.
