I ran into the same issue. Here's what happened on my end and how I fixed it locally.

1. Delete ~/.yarnrc
2. Ran npx react-native@latest init MyProject
3. It fails with the error above.
4. There appears to be a rogue "ces" string in the generated ~/.yarnrc
5. I removed the "ces"
6. Re-ran npx react-native@latest init MyProject and it completed successfully

@francisace works fine for me.
Thanks

1. Open your terminal and enter nano ~/.yarnrc to open the file.
2. Remove "ces" using the arrow keys.
3. Press Ctrl+X to exit, then press Y to confirm the changes and hit Enter.

I confirm I had this issue ... why everytime I create a new project I have a new error. react-native is so surprising.

Thank you, this method works for me
