The Banda people are an ethnic group of the Central African Republic. They are likewise found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, and South Sudan.[1] They were severely affected by slave raids of the 19th century and slave trading out of Africa.[2][3][4] Under French colonial rule, most converted to Christianity but retained elements of their traditional religious systems and values.[5]
