The Mbororo, also called semi-nomadic cattle herder, are a sub-group of the larger Fulani group spread across a horizontal zone from West Africa into central Africa. They might originate from the Berber people of North Africa that migrated to the south between the 8th-11th c, and mixed with the people of Senegal. The Mbororo are family, cattle, strong morals, and beauty, and they value excellence in poetry, singing and dancing; cattle is the symbol of wealth. Although converted to Islam, they preserve many of their own customs, they wear fetishes and charms and practice rituals for protection. Despite this, they have shown openness to the Gospel.
