Gibberish[edit]

I'm not sure what point the original editor was trying to make by including this authentic administrative gibberish in our encyclopedia:

According to the [[United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees]], ''"The Yakoma, like most inhabitants of the Central African Republic, are of [[Bantu peoples|Bantu]] origin. Therefore, based only on their physiognomy, it is not possible to distinguish them without risk of error from members of other ethnic groups of the same origin."'' The [[Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada]] states, ''"The Yakoma, including their language, physiognomy and geographic location; whether it is possible to identify members of this ethnic group by their family names and whether certain names are common among the Yakoma"'' makes it difficult to accurately number the population of the Yakoma people.<ref name="unhcr">[http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/docid/3f7d4d6515.html Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada], Central African Republic: The Yakoma. Accessed 9 January 2013</ref> "However, ''the Yakoma can be identified by their dialect, which is also called Yakoma. Although very similar to [[Sango]] - the dialect of the Sango, another ethnic group living in the same area as the Yakoma - the accent is different among members of these two ethnic groups."''<ref name="unhcr" />

Since we're not trying to distinguish specific members from anyone (and why was anyone in the first place? did they need protection? were they being persecuted?), almost all of this has no business being here. Kindly provide some context and editing before restoring this to the article. — $Llywelyn II$ 15:23, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
