Kijuju, the region's namesake.
The Kijuju Autonomous Zone[notes 1] is a self-governing region of an unidentified West African nation.[1] Its official language is Swahili.
History
At an undefined report considered recent in 2009, the civil war that had ravaged the country came to an end with the overthrow of the government. Economically, Kijuju was relatively-untouched by the war, owing to the mining industry.[2] However, the country's railway networks were destroyed.[3]
In 2008, the BSAA spy Reynard Fisher confirmed the presence of international fugitive Ricardo Irving in Kijuju. Irving was notorious for running black-market bio-weapons deals and testing B.O.W.s in Africa, and so it was suspected by the BSAA that bioterrorists may be present in the region. Fisher became aware of a blog being run by a local immigrant worker called Adam, which described the unusual and rapid increase in xenophobic nationalism. It also detailed the appearance of "tentacled" animal corpses and reports of decapitated dogs, which led to the BSAA's suspicion that Irving had gotten his hands on the Plaga parasites, which they had become aware of through the "Kennedy Report".
In reality, it was not Irving that was leading the trade; he was merely the frontman. Irving was working for TRICELL Inc, Africa's natural resources department, where he used the oil profits to fund the company's CEO, Excella Gionne in her bio-weapons research program working to achieve the goals of bioterrorist Albert Wesker. The Plaga parasites had been genetically-manipulated for the purpose of becoming more 'marketable', while their release into the region was to demonstrate their potential to customers.
By early 2009. the military was sent in to stop any further spread by having a large wall built around the city, cutting through a large portion of the region. For unknown reasons, BSAA HQ neglected to bring up their suspicions to SOA operatives Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar, who only discovered the connection to the Plagas first hand.

Distribution of Swahili language.
The game is supposted to be placed in West Africa and Kijuju obviously has to be places in there as is the place where the most part of the game is developed. The currency used on the game is signed as ₦ which is the sign of a currency called "Naira" that is the currency of the west-african country Nigeria which is the most populous country in Africa and the seventh most populous country in the World.
But Kijuju as can be sawed in the game doesn't seems to be a place in West Africa. The first thing to note is the use of Swahili, which is the majority language in Kenya and Tanzania and a spoked by minorities in Uganda, Congo and Moçambique which are countries of the East and South of Africa. Swahili is an east african language and isn't spoken in West Africa. Other thing is that trough the local population there are some indian, arab and white people, and is important to say that contrary to Nigeria and the rest of the countries of west Africa, Uganda, Kenya and particullary Tanzania have the largests diasporas of indians in Africa and the largests diasporas of arabs in the Sub-Saharan Africa, and Tanzania is one of the countries with the largest rate of albinism.

In the same way the environment of the city of Kijuju is much closer to an east country such Kenya than a West country such Nigeria and is important to note the colour of the vegetation, being the east savana yellow-oranged as in the game while the nigerian savanna is green. Opposed to Kijuju Autonomous Zone, the nearby rainforests and wetlands where the Sodibayas and the Ndipayas leave are the tipical environment of the Congo Basin.

Further notes
A studio lot based on Kijuju was released for PlayStation Home. The player can engage in a treasure hunt for beetles, socialize with other gamers, buy costumes (namely Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar) and can start a game of Resident Evil 5 when the disc is in their PlayStation 3. With a save file for Resident Evil 5, the player can enter a secret area based on the butcher's shop, guarded by Reynard Fisher. There, they may read files on characters, companies and locations. The TV shows all five episodes of the Resident Evil 5 promotional videos.
