From then on, the Lanjia Sora, a tribe with their own special conception of illness, life and death, got in touch with the people from the plains and fell under the influence of the missionary activities of several Christian groups.

Over the last twenty five years, Maghrebian immigrants living in France have brought their families to join them. Many of them lived in shanty towns before moving to working class suburbs.
