Public Comment
"While population figures of around 25,000 are given for the Baka population, there are strong indications that they will share the fate of their cultural neighbours, the Aka and will abandon their traditional way of life for a squatter existence on the fringe of society waiting for the next handout for the next humanitarian organization. With this process they are also likely to abandon their language in favor of Fang, the lingua franca of the Southern part of Cameroon."
