Countries and Their Cultures: Fali

Curated by ACT

The Fali belong to the vast paleonegritic group of people who are sometimes designated "Kirdi" (pagans), as opposed to the Islamized Peul or Fulbe, with whom they share the northern part of Cameroon. The Fali are farmers and hunter-gatherers. For centuries they have known how to utilize the mountains to grow the plants that constitute their basic foods -- sorghum and small millet -- alternating with mixed crops such as beans, guinea sorrel, sesame, and peanuts.
