Mbinda is a village in the Republic of Congo, lying on the border with Gabon. It is the administrative seat of the Mbinda District.
The village is a transport hub and lies at the end of a railway line——to Brazzaville.
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.
