Overview

The town prospered as the southern end of the 75 km COMILOG Cableway from Moanda in Gabon, exporting manganese via Brazzaville, but this closed in 1986 when the Trans-Gabon Railway was completed. However, a rail link from Franceville to Brazzaville, probably via the town, is regularly proposed.

gollark: Academia *is* a job, and a fairly bad one, though?
gollark: I'm mostly going because, well, social expectations to some extent, but also I can learn cool things, avoid having to actually get a job for some time (and presumably attain more money when I am to), and do fun university things of some kind™.
