AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Dan, also called Yacuba (Yacouba), are a sub-tribe belonging to the Dan-Nguere.
Numbering four hundred thousand, they live in Liberia, Guinea (Conakry), and the western part of Côte d'Ivoire, where they arrived under pressure from the Malinke.
These are farmers and good warriors. They do not have a central authority; they live in villages made up of several clans around a chief who shares his authority with the council of elders.
