Bapu, Sierra Leone: the coastal gateway to the Northern Province
Port Loko, the capital of Sierra Leone's Northern Province, is located about 100 kilometers north of the capital, Freetown, and bordering the Atlantic Ocean, making it an important regional transportation and trade hub for the country. The city is known for its diverse ethnic and cultural mix, with a predominantly Taman and Limba population, traditional handicrafts, and a predominantly agrarian economy, with the surrounding area producing rice, palm oil, and other crops. With a convenient road network connecting Freetown to the interior, Bapu is an important window into the culture and economy of the northern region of Sierra Leone, as infrastructure has improved in recent years and small-scale commerce and fishing have become increasingly active, while retaining a strong sense of traditional West African flavor.
