A little bit about the port of Yoro:

The port of Yoro is an enclave at the end of the Mpila district. The place takes its name from Yoro Thiam, Senegalese owner in the 1950s of the land where the port was established. It's isolated

location in the city center by the beverage and beer (drinks) depots, oil yards, and old shipyards gives the curious impression of having left the capital and started to creep into the doorstep of the greater Congo savannah. 

Past this point one sinks into the harbor district where a large fish market is held (and the terrible but symptomatically healthy focus of rubbish strewn on the area testify to the intense activity of the place, but is not a pretty sight.) The port is past a customs post that resembles an abandoned hard hut, and is set up along a cove at the confluence of the Tsieme and Congo. 

A few dozen canoes and fishing boats 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. We are here very close to the old shipyards during French and European rule.
