East, Administrative region in eastern Cameroon
The East Region encompasses 109,002 square kilometers of land with diverse landscapes, including hills, grasslands, and forests across four departments.
The region transformed from a province to its current administrative status in 2008 through a presidential decree that restructured Cameroon's territorial organization.
Multiple ethnic communities maintain their distinct languages and traditions throughout the departments of Boumba-et-Ngoko, Haut-Nyong, Kadey, and Lom-et-Djerem.
The regional capital Bertoua functions as the primary administrative center, coordinating governance activities across all four departments at an elevation of 658 meters.
The region maintains a low population density of 5 people per square kilometer, making it one of the least populated areas in Cameroon.
