Located in Nimba County in northeastern Liberia, near the Guinean border, Yekepa was once an important iron ore mining center in the country. The town has developed on the basis of its rich mineral resources, and is surrounded by tropical rainforests with active agricultural activities, mainly growing cash crops such as rubber and palm oil. As a transportation node connecting the interior with the border region, the pace of life is slower, with a blend of indigenous tribal culture and Liberian traditions, and well-preserved natural landscapes, making it a suitable place to explore West Africa's pristine ecology and mining history.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
