Bertoua

Bertoua, also spelled as Bertua is a town located at the southeastern part of Cameroon, precisely in the transition zone between the southern forest and the northern savanna. It has been a conventional regional administrative and commercial centre but was isolated until the construction of the railroad to nearby Bélabo and the opening of an airport in 1976 improved communications with the rest of the country. Other development projects of the late 20th century included the construction of an improved road from Bertoua to Bélabo, the establishment of a cassava (manioc) processing complex, and the construction of a peanut (groundnut) oil factory. Population as of 2004 was estimated to be 252,866.
