Page "Foreign relations of the Central African Republic" Paragraph 5

Cameroon is probably the foreign country that most Central Africans identify with, since most people live in the western part of the country, close to the Cameroon border.

It is also the most important regional trade partner of C. A. R.

; most of the country's imports pass through the port of Douala, before being transported by truck to C. A. R ..

Most of the 1, 450 km road to the coast is now paved, only a short distance remains.

Following the increase of violence in north-western C. A. R.

in late-2005, there were at the end of 2006 about 48, 000 refugees from C. A. R.

in Cameroon.
