With a population of 86,500 (2004), currently at around 189,000, the city is situated between the Mo and Mono rivers, and it is a commercial center for the surrounding agricultural areas. It is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious city, but is dominated by Islam. It is an administrative center where the majority of Kotokolis live along with Muslims whose cloths are reminiscent of North Africa. Men have also been known to wear big boubous and women, the veil above beautifully colored outfits.
