Moyen-Ogooué Province in Gabon
Moyen-Ogooué is one of Gabon's nine provinces. It covers an area of 18,535 km2 (7,156 sq mi). The provincial capital is Lambaréné. As of 2013, 69,287 people lived there.[2]
Unlike any other province of Gabon, Moyen-Ogooué has neither seacoast nor a foreign border. It borders the following provinces:
- Estuaire Province – northwest
- Woleu-Ntem Province – north-northeast
- Ogooué-Ivindo Province – east
- Ogooué-Lolo Province – southeast, at a quadripoint
- Ngounié Province – south
- Ogooué-Maritime Province – west-southwest
Moyen-Ogooué borders all but two of the rest of Gabon's provinces, thus more than any other province.
