These populations are found on both sides of the border of Ghana and the Ivory Coast. They are: the Abron (Ahenfi, Foumassa, Pinango, Akidom), the Agni (Bini, Bona, Indni, Morofw, Sanwi), the Juaben (Diab\u00e8), the Essouma and the Nzima (Ajomoro, Guira, Ahanta).<\/p>\n\n<p>Urban centers: Abengourou, Bondoukou, Aboisso, Bongouanou, Krindjabo, Mafr, Ayam, Assufri, Transua, Arrah, Nguim, Nouamou.<\/p>\n\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Akan from the center<\/strong>. It is the great Baoul\u00e9 family: (Ouarebo, Agba, Ngban, Faafou, Nzikpri, A\u00e4tou, Nanafou, Saafou, Akou\u00e8, Ndranoua, Satikran, Goli, Ayaou, Anno and Annoab\u00e8). They are found in the big cities of the center around Bouak\u00e9: Dimbokro, Toumodi, Tibissou, M&#039;Bahiakro, Tiassal, Daoukro. . .<\/p>\n\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Akan lagoon<\/strong>\u00a0are on the southern coasts. The term lagoon given to these ethnic groups comes from the fact that they are installed all around the vast lagoon complex formed by Lake Ebri\u00e9. We think of the so typical towns of Aghien and that of Grand-Lahou. They are: the Ab\u00e8 (Mori, Tchofou, Abv, Khos), the Abidji, the Abour (h, hiv, Ossouon), the Aky (Lepin, Bodin, Ketin), the Adioukrou, the Avikam, the Alladian, the bri ( Bidjan, Kw\u00e8, Songon, Niangon, Yopougon, Bya, Nonkwa, Bobo, Adiapo), the Ewotire.<\/p>\n\n<p>The political organization of the lagoon Akan is largely based on the age groups that they have been able to organize better than the other Akan (Adioukrou, Aky, Abour, bri). The Akan Lagoon calendar is based on a six-day week. They are naturally found in Abidjan, Agboville, Bingerville, Grand-Bassam, Dabou, Adiak, Grand-Lahou, Orbaff, Ousrou, Dibremou, Memni, Alp.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mythologie Akan Wiki Le Sud et l&rsquo;Est de la C\u00f4te-d&rsquo;Ivoire sont occup\u00e9s par diff\u00e9rentes branches des peuples Akan\u00a0(Frontaliers, Lagunaires et &hellip; <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":4092,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4100","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4100"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4100\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24939,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4100\/revisions\/24939"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4092"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
