Efé people

The Efé are part of the indigenous people of D.R. Congo and Central/East/Southern Africa (they have lived in the region before the Bantu, Sudanic and Nilotic ethnic group migrated there, forced their cultures onto them, displaced and in some cases enslaved them) they live in the Ituri Rainforest of D.R.Congo. The Efé are considered by mitochondrial DNA haplotype analysis to be one of the oldest races on earth
The indigenous people also include the Baka who live in the North, the Mbuti/Bambuti and that refers to refer to the Sua, Efé and Asua ethnic groups as a collective who lives mostly in the Ituri Forest. Then you have the Twa which includes the Mongo Twa, Kasai Twa and Great Lakes Twa. The Kasai Twa are also part of the Bakuba/Kuba people (the Kuba conglomeration). They are labelled as P*gmies and different indigenous ethnic groups also live in Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, the Central African Republic, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, the Republic of Congo, Angola, Botswana, Namibia, and Zambia and face ethnic/institutional discrimination in the countries/regions they’re indigenous to.
