Remarks

[Based on old maps from this decade that describes this region, I suspect that this site is actually in Congo but could be in Central African Republic. I believe the name of the village Wessa was either mispronounced or now takes on the name of Ouesso, which is on the Sangha river on the border of CAR -- Evan Hockridge, 3/30/2023]
