Kassena

The Kassena people are an ethnic group located along the northern Ghana and Burkina Faso border. They speak the Kasem language. Their king lives in the town of Tiébélé. The Kasenna are closely related to the people of Nankanni and were brought together to form the Kassena-Nankana administrative district in 1936. As of 2008, the (Kassena-Nankana) area comprises two districts: Kassena Nankana West and Kassena Nankana East.
