The parish is located in a transitional area prone to food crises between the agropastoral zone of the south and the zone of remote grazing in the north. Land use conflicts often arise between the settled arable farmers and the transhumant cattle breeders who regularly come from neighboring areas . There is a regionally important weekly market in Roumbou-Sakabal. The market day is Sunday. The other infrastructure in the main town is limited to a French-speaking primary school ( école traditionnelle ), a Koran school, a health center ( center de santé intégré ) and a small drinking water pipe .
