The Assin (also known as Asin and Asen) are a subgroup of the Akan people who live mainly in Ghana’s Central Region. They are historically linked to the wider Akan cultural and political world, with roots in the forest–savanna transition zone. Today, they occupy territory around Assin Foso, which serves as the capital of the modern Assin area.
