The Anufo or Chakosi are an Akan people who live in the Dapaong and (Sansanné-)Mango areas of Togo, as well as in Ghana.
[1] They trace their origin to a place called Anou or Ano on the Komoé River in the Ivory Coast.
Anufo have names like Amoin, Akisie (Agishie), Kouasi, Adjoah, Amlan (Amanna) Ouwe, Yao, Koffi, Afoueh, N'gisah after days of the week: Mueneh (Sunday), Cishe (Monday), Djore (Tuesday), Mana (Wednesday), Ohue (Thursday), Ya (Friday) and Fue (Saturday) Kwa.
[3] It appears that migrations in the early 18th century brought together Mande horsemen and their malams from the North and Akan peoples from the East.
Eventually, the small army established a camp on the shores of the Oti River where the town of Mango in Togo stands today.
