Same, the capital of Timor-Leste's Ainaro District, is located about 50 kilometers south of the capital, Dili, in the mountainous interior and is an important agricultural and transportation hub for the country.

Sapara (Sapouy) is a city in south-central Burkina Faso, located in the region of Boucle du Mouhoun, and is one of the region's major agricultural and commercial centers. Located in a savannah climate zone, the city is surrounded by a plantation industry that produces cash crops such as cotton, millet, and peanuts, and the local economy relies on traditional agriculture and small-scale handicrafts.
