Aketi

Aketi is a settlement in Bas-Uele Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The country's census tables compiled by City Population list it with 21,656 inhabitants at the census of 1 July 1984 and an estimated 35,486 inhabitants on 1 July 2004, and GeoNames, which places it at latitude 2.73877 and longitude 23.78326, carries a newer population figure of 61,437 for the surrounding settlement. According to the digital elevation model GeoNames uses, the site stands about 380 metres above sea level, and it keeps Central Africa Time (UTC+2). Aketi is not a provincial capital, so it appears in the census tables as one of the country's smaller towns rather than as the seat of a province. The atlas places it in the Middle Africa subregion of Africa and treats it as a city for browsing purposes.
