The orthography reminds me of Somali, but the morphology isn't right for that. But maybe a related language like Afar?

Nope. Actually, you're looking at the wrong side of the African continent. Try West instead.

It's not Fula, but it belongs to the Niger-Congo family.

Sorry for "necroposting", but this topic is still on the first page and I don't want to create a new topic.

Here's the text:
