Overview
The port of Yoro is an enclave at the end of the Mpila district. The place takes its name from Yero Thiam, Senegalese owner in the 1950s land where the port is established. Its isolated location in the city center by the drinks depots, oil and old shipyards gives the curious impression of having left the capital. A bollard, planted in the middle of a small roundabout bearing the calligraphy inscription "Saint Tropez", can make one believe in an abuse of palm wine or tropical heat. Past this point one sinks into the harbor district where a large fish market is held, the rubbish strewn on the streets testify to the intense activity of the place. The port, past a customs post that resembles an abandoned hard hut, is set up along a cove at the confluence of the Tsieme and Congo. A few dozen canoes, whalers are moored there. Mpila was, before the French colonization, a teke village and a prosperous trading port. The last colonial chief of the village, Mbankwa, died in 1916 and was buried here.His tomb, characterized by an opening to feed the spirit of the deceased by offerings, in accordance with the batéké mortuary rites, is today forgotten.Very close to the old shipyards.
