Many sources refer to a section of the Logone in central Africa as the Logone Occidental .
course
About 30 km north-northeast of the triangle between Cameroon , Chad and the Central African Republic , the Vina and the Mbéré unite on the border between Chad and Cameroon. The following section, about 250 km long, to the mouth of the Pendé , is, depending on the source, assigned to the Mbéré (sometimes also the Vina), but is usually referred to as the Logone Occidental (Western Logone). Sometimes the suffix Occidental is simply left out, since the Eastern Logone (Logone Oriental) is clearly defined by the name Pendé
Hydrometry
The flow rate of the river was measured in m³ / s at the Moundou station
