Metroji clue #63

Bangui in five emoji

Central African Republic

A capital on the Ubangi river, right on the border, in a country covered by some of the least surveyed forest in Africa. The clue is mostly about what lives outside the city.

What each emoji refers to

Diamonds are the main export and are mostly dug by hand from riverbeds rather than mined industrially.
Forest elephants gather in the hundreds at the Dzanga clearing in the southwest, which is the easiest place in Africa to see them.
The south of the country is Congo Basin rainforest, the second largest tropical forest on earth.
The same forest holds insect species that have still not all been described.
Aka polyphonic singing layers several independent vocal lines at once and is on the UNESCO heritage list.
