The Yari people settled in southwest Burkina Faso in the 16th century. They are a people of many names, specialized in long-distance trade. They left the Middle East in successive waves with the aim of finding a stable trading environment. So, after Mali, they arrived in Bobo-Dioulasso in the perimeter of the ex-canton of Sya. However, hit by attacks from the Peul SANGARE, these communities headed for northern Ghana. They made several stopovers in Ouahabou, Poura and Djinjerma, before splitting up. The first group settled in the south-west and the second continued on to Ghana, precisely to the WA trading center, before returning to the south-west under pressure from the slavers. In south-west Burkina Faso, several villages and farming hamlets were founded by the slavers.When the colonial administration arrived, it blocked the mobility of the Yara community in favor of forced labor. As a result, the Yari communities stopped trading for lack of time. Today, apart from the Yara ethnonym, the existence of a community called Yara is unknown.
