		Kribi is also the base for various commercial fishing interests that operate along the province's coast.
		Kribi is also the site of sawmills, and a palm oil mill operates in Lobé.

	HIV-Aids - Cameroon - a paradise for tourists and Aids
		The inhabitants of Kribi, a well-known sea resort on the Gulf of Guinea, were hoping that an oil terminal linking Chad to Cameroon would solve all their problems of unemployment, poverty and isolation.
		According to Cameroonian activists, members of the consortium responsible for the extraction and transport of the oil, had sensitised their employees with HIV and Aids education, but neglected to extend it to the local population.
		Joseph, a family man who cleans rooms in a small hotel in the city centre, said that girls engaging in sex work were helping their parents, who were struggling to make ends meet "because of inflation caused by the arrival of the Oil Consortium".

	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - Lots of activity in southern Cameroon
		27, 1997 Kribi was a small seaside resort and port in southern Cameroon and used to be considered a backwater, but businesses are now lining up to invest in it.
		The interest was evident on Feb. 21 when thousands of people, from entrepreneurs and architects to politicians, drove to the town, which is 325 kms by road from the capital, Yaounde, to see President Paul Biya inaugurate the Ebome offshore oil field.
		It is too early to tell whether Kribi will be an exception to the general picture in Cameroon, where oil revenue has bolstered macroeconomic indicators but exacerbated structural problems.

	At least 127 drown as boat sinks off Cameroon - Boston.com
		At least 127 people were feared drowned after a wooden boat traveling from Nigeria to Gabon sank off Cameroon's Atlantic port of Kribi, a local official and aid workers said on Thursday.
		The boat, which broke up in high seas, was discovered by a fisherman who alerted his colleagues and people living in coastal villages who rushed to the scene to find bodies floating on the water and survivors hanging on to flotsam.
		The local Red Cross co-ordinator in the region around Kribi, Francois Mahouwa, said the boat had officially been carrying 150 passengers but that some survivors said twice that number had in fact been on board.

	Report of the working group on women's key role and issues related to gender in fishing communities
		It is the case of Limbe and Kribi fisheries communities in Cameroon, located respectively at 250 and 350km from Yaoundé, the capital city.
		In Limbe, 41% are illiterate but in Kribi, 50% of the women have reached the secondary school.
		It is also necessary to set up a unit, preferably led by women, in charge of the follow up and evaluation of women's activities as well as a team of instructors and social women organisers to supervise fishmongers and smokers.

	11/21/00 -- Contrasts in Cameroon over huge pipeline (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		KRIBI, Cameroon - Kribi, on Cameroon's Atlantic coast, was a lazy fishing town with beaches of white sand, but oil is starting to change all that.
		For Kribi, this will mean investment in oil services, new construction work, plus new social amenities for workers which will also benefit the local people - hospitals, schools, better roads, water and electricity supply.
		Those concerns have not gone away, however, with some Kribi people especially worried about the impact of any oil spill on the fishing industry that has enabled the town to live until now and will continue to do so once the oil has dried up.

	:: OPEC Fund for International Development - Press Release ::
		The rehabilitation of the National Road 8 linking Yaoundé to Kribi through Olama, is one of the development priorities of the Government of Cameroon, due to its regional strategic importance for transit traffic from the landlocked neighbouring countries of Chad and the Central African Republic to the port of Kribi.
		Furthermore, the importance of the road stems from the need to develop the port of Kribi as a deep-sea port to complement the activities of the existing port of Douala, whose present location on the river Wouri constrains its expansion.
		Other factors include the development of an industrial zone close to Kribi port and plans for processing and exporting LNG and an export terminal for the crude oil coming from Chad, in addition to meeting the export requirements for bauxite, steel and timber.

	IOL: Tension mounts over Cameroon oil pipeline
		Kribi, Cameroon - Oil was meant to bring hope and money to this sleepy fishing town in Cameroon, but Kribi's residents say they can barely make ends meet.
		The terminus for a 1 070-km pipeline bringing oil from landlocked Chad to Cameroon, Kribi was full of expectations that wealth would trickle down from the $4-billion (about R26,8-billion) venture, one of Africa's biggest infrastructure projects.
		Instead, Kribi's fishermen say a reef was destroyed during the construction of an offshore facility three years ago and this has endangered their livelihoods.

		Kribi has much less poverty than Yaounde, because in the capital the only way to get by without a work is through theft, while in Kribi it's easier to put together something to eat, or to try to sell something as pedlars.
		Bafoussam and Bamenda are a lot more developed than Yaounde and Kribi, also because the ethnic group to which their inhabitants belong (the Bamileke) is quite devoted to commerce, much more than the Bantu that live in the south.
		The city is in the mountains, so the plants are lower and the climate a bit cooler than in Kribi (actually, this is the rainy season so the temperature was usually around 25-30 degrees -- not exactly hot).

		It currently holds 500 cubic meters, not enough for what is estimated to be Kribi’s current need (although the supervisor said it might suffice for the time being).
		I have noticed that water is used much more frugally in Kribi than it is in Michigan, where I am from.
		Water often ceases to flow in the town as the result of difficulties with the piping and distribution system, or sometimes due to a power outage that disables the main engine controlling the water filtering and distribution processes.
