Yakoma people
Template:Short description The Yakoma are an ethnic group who primarily reside in the Central African Republic. As of June 2008, the Yakoma make up 4% of the country's population.[1][2] Additionally, 10,000 live in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[3]
The city of Yakoma takes its name from the people Yakoma, and the Yakoma's lands[4][1] were utilized by the French for their post at les Abiras, which was the first capital of Ubangi-Shari,[5][6][1] who were the predecessors to the modern-day Central African Republic.[1] The Yakoma are indeed Bantu; however they, in fact, speak a distinct dialect (also known as Yakoma), which is similar to Sango.[7][1]
André-Dieudonné Kolingba, president of the CAR from 1979 to 1993, was a member of this group,[8][9][10] as is the writer Adrienne Yabouza.[11]
