The Baka people, known in the Congo as Bayaka (Bebayaka, Bebayaga, Bibaya), [1] are an ethnic group inhabiting the southeastern rain forests of Cameroon, northern Republic of the Congo, northern Gabon, and southwestern Central African Republic. They are sometimes called a subgroup of the Twa, but the two peoples are not closely related.
