Edea

Edéa stands beside the Sanaga River in a country inhabited by Bassa and Bakoko communities. Bassa traditions recall Ngog Lituba, the pierced rock, as a place of ancestral origin, from which families dispersed into the forests and across the Sanaga. Among the groups associated with the river crossings were the Ngase of Edéa. The great river flows westward through this forested land to the Atlantic, its valley linking communities on either bank.
